As a bride groom awaiting the bride,  
As a bride groom awaiting the bride,
We have longed for thy coming, O Spring;  
We have longed for thy coming, O Spring;
The snowdrop, thy herald and guide,  
The snowdrop, thy herald and guide,
Foreran thee, foretold thee, and died.  
Foreran thee, foretold thee, and died.
And yet thy lingering wing  
And yet thy lingering wing
tarries, and time grows late,  
tarries, and time grows late,
And we grow weary that wait.  
And we grow weary that wait.
Come hither, O Spring!
Come hither, O Spring!


The crocus that strewed for thy way  
The crocus that strewed for thy way
Its purple and gold together  
Its purple and gold together
Has looked for thee day after day;  
Has looked for thee day after day;
No more now, no more can it stay,  
No more now, no more can it stay,
It begins to sicken and wither.  
It begins to sicken and wither.
The swallows look out o'er the deep,  
The swallows look out o'er the deep,
And the buds are a-weary of sleep.  
And the buds are a-weary of sleep.
O Spring, come hither, O Spring!
O Spring, come hither, O Spring!

As a bride groom awaiting the bride,
We have longed for thy coming, O Spring;
The snowdrop, thy herald and guide,
Foreran thee, foretold thee, and died.
And yet thy lingering wing
tarries, and time grows late,
And we grow weary that wait.
Come hither, O Spring!

The crocus that strewed for thy way
Its purple and gold together
Has looked for thee day after day;
No more now, no more can it stay,
It begins to sicken and wither.
The swallows look out o'er the deep,
And the buds are a-weary of sleep.
O Spring, come hither, O Spring!
