Paradise In Spring

Winter's gone at last, the sun returns
and now my heart goes walking over mountains
under an endless open sky.
Hear how the music burns!
Sweet playing of eternal fountains
where children play and loving souls stroll by.

Spring is a glimpse of Paradise:
mild sunshine and sweet fair breeze
the promise of a place where we would dwell
far from despair and troubled eyes.
Spring gives us hope of ease,
but winter's voice is God's, as well.
