An Early Spring Garden
Daffodils are trumpets
Announcing spring.
Hyacinths wear robes
Of white and blue and pink.
Crocuses are friendly,
Growing in close bunches.
Snowdrops bow their heads,
Curve their necks in hunches.
Tulips grow the tallest
With tops like silky crowns.
Lily-of-the-valleys
Hang little bells all around.
So many lovely flowers
Burst and bloom, shout and sing:
How beautiful the earth is!
How magical is spring!
Announcing spring.
Hyacinths wear robes
Of white and blue and pink.
Crocuses are friendly,
Growing in close bunches.
Snowdrops bow their heads,
Curve their necks in hunches.
Tulips grow the tallest
With tops like silky crowns.
Lily-of-the-valleys
Hang little bells all around.
So many lovely flowers
Burst and bloom, shout and sing:
How beautiful the earth is!
How magical is spring!
