Wake up, O Spring!
and spread your arms wide,
your face upturned to steadily rise
toward the warmth of the sun
and the God who has given
life to all who in newness have risen.
*
Let all the shadows that fell before
be but a libation that passion has poured
upon all creation which is newly restored
to the glory,
the glory,
of the immortal Lord.
*
Wake up, O Spring,
your slumber is passed,
your day of revival is here -
at last!
