Stretch your heartToward springStretch with all the cheerYou can musterHold your face toward The sunshine Find the skySmiling back at you.

Winter clings onWhite and cold Spring looms closeTrying to turn sunlightAnd blue skyInto summer.

Herald of spring,Apple blossoms remindOf summer.Fragrant as honeysuckle Along the pasture fence.Come early,Precursors of yellow applesFull of sweet juiceI can taste sunshine And applesauce.
