Spring

　　Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king;

　　Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,

　　Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,

　　Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

　　The palm and may make country houses gay,

　　Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,

　　And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,

　　Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

　　The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,

　　Young lovers meet, old wives a sunning sit,

　　In every street these tunes our ears do greet,

　　Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo！

　　Spring! the sweet Spring！

　　春

　　春，甘美之春，一年之中的尧舜，

　　处处都有花树，都有女儿环舞，

　　微寒但觉清和，佳禽争着唱歌，

　　啁啁，啾啾，咯咯，割麦、插一禾！

　　榆柳呀山楂，打扮着田舍人家，

　　羊羔嬉游，牧笛儿整日在吹奏，

　　百鸟总在和鸣，一片悠扬声韵，

　　啁啁，啾啾，咯咯，割麦、插一禾！

　　郊原荡漾香风，雏菊吻人脚踵，

　　情侣作对成双，老妪坐晒阳光，

　　走向任何通衢，都有歌声悦耳，

　　啁啁，啾啾，咯咯，割麦、插一禾！

　　春！甘美之春！
