Oxfordshire Children's May Song
Spring is coming, spring is coming,
Birdies, build your nest;
Weave together straw and feather,
Doing each your best.
Spring is coming, spring is coming,
Flowers are coming too:
Pansies, lilies, daffodillies,
Now are coming through.
Spring is coming, spring is coming,
All around is fair;
Shimmer and quiver on the rier,
Joy is everywhere.
We wish you a happy May.

A wonderful spring read and activity: I, Vivaldi by Janice Shefelman.
How coincidental ..... I've been singing that song all week; in my head, over the phone to my granddaughter and to Lucy (my labrador.)
ReplyDeletePerhaps you must have heard me!
A new spring poem to me, it's a keeper !
