Good Night Sweet Spring

Nature’s springtime end has come, The hold on life has gone, Blankets of every color and shade, Covering the land as springtime fades. Goodnight sweet spring, Goodnight to you, And all of the beauty of life, In time that you do. The harvest has come in, The birds have all flown south, The chill that winter brings, Begins to blow from winter’s mouth. Now as the blanket’s colors begins to fade And the nights become longer, Spring takes the blanket from the trees And covers all of the land in deep slumber. The warmth of a long sleep, The trees mark the scene, A promise of rebirth to keep, Bringing back the deep color of green, And every flower and tree, Goodnight for now, goodnight sweet spring, I look forward to your return, And all the beauty of life, That your return does bring.
