116. Springtime

1 Wake! Pussy willow and violet blue,
Springtime is calling and looking for you;
Wake! says the sunshine, lift dainty bright heads,
Wake! pretty blossoms, arise from your beds.

2 Wake! call the raindrops, you’re sleeping too long;
Wake up and listen to bluebird’s sweet song;
Wake! God is calling, thro’ sunshine and show’rs;
Springtime is God’s way of calling the flow’rs.
