- Lyrics for "Welcome Sweet
Springtime" and "Voices Of The Woods" are the
same.
-
- Chorus:
- Welcome Sweet Springtime,
We greet thee in song,
Murmers of gladness, Fall on the ear.
- Voices long hushed, Now
their full notes, prolong,
Echoing far and near.
Bridge:
Balmy and life breathing breezes are blowing,
Swiftly to nature new vigor bestowing.
- Ah! how my heart beats with
rapture anew,
Earth's fairest beauties again meet my view.
-
- Chorus:
Sing then, ye birds, raise your voices on high,
- Flow'rets awake ye, burst
into bloom!
- Springtime is come and sweet
Summer is nigh,
- Sing then ye birds, O sing.
