Spring

  Spring is coming, spring is coming...
  Birdies, build your nests.
  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 river,
                                              Joy is everywhere.

The finch (зяблик) is singing its lovely spring song.

            



   This is the season 
   when snowdrops bloom,

When nobody likes 
to be in his room.

This is the season 
when birds make their nests.

This is the season
we all like best.
