TO WELCOME IN THE SPRING By Tommy Makem

As I walked out this morning, the air was sweet and clean 

bushes all along the road were showing tips of green 

I leaned against an oak tree to hear if it would sing 

Its pulses throbbed and raced like mine

To Welcome In The Spring

There's music in the west wind that's blowing from the sea 

there's music in the lambs bleat; the droning of the bee

 there's music in the tree tops, the mountain streams all sing 

a symphony on earth and air  

To Welcome In The Spring
