As the dreich o' winter passesand the spring light fills your eye,
each and every hour hastens daily by.
The wood's awash wi' bluebells
the bud sprouts upon the ash,
it sprung a week afore the oak
we'll only get a splash.
The air is getting warmer
and the beasts begin to stir,
the landscape chirps with birdsong
as the snow melts on the fir.
The shadows begin to shorten,
the sun's higher each passing noon,
we'll be shifting from our winter spot
soon as the yellow's on the broom.
