Lyrics

The Year Is Awakening

The bee is on the wing

Leaves uncurl yellow green

The year is awaking

The year is awaking

Long garden overgrown

With wild flowers sewn

The year is awaking

The year is awaking

Birds fluting overhead

Are making feather bed

The year is awaking

The year is awaking

The bee is on the wing

Leaves uncurl yellow green

The year is awaking

The year is awaking

The year is awaking

The year is awaking

The year is awaking
