Song of the Dove

Little dove, there you are, perched in the snow, we need not to ask, for, how well, we know How your presence speaks gently of faith in the spring when you come out of hiding and we hear your voice sing… Rise up, don't be timid for winter will pass The flowers will spring up in soft, meadow grass As the spring comes alive And the grapevines will blossom please dove, sing your sweet song, As the sun warms the skies Coo little dove songs, your voice will resound... The gray clouds will fly away and a new day will dawn
