Sweet lingering fragrance of springtime

　　How gently it drifts through the air

　　With lilacs in bloom and natures perfume

　　To sweeten a day， ever fair.

　　Oh， for the richness of springtime

　　With tulips and lilies in bloom

　　Carnations so fine， an iris divine

　　Orchids to brighten a room.

　　Oh， for the love of the springtime

　　A heavenly scent does abound

　　Daisy delight， a violet so light

　　Tender red roses are found.

　　Oh， for the blessings of springtime

　　Such beauty， mine eyes do behold

　　Petunia's from God， peek out from the sod

　　More precious than rubies or gold.
