PROMISE

Spring is COMING!

Although it seems so far away, 
Spring is Coming! Spring is Coming!
A bloom appears against the gray,
sweet testimony to that Day
whose coming no man yet may say...
Spring is Coming! Spring is coming!

The warmth rolls back. The blossoms sleep,
and days will come to make men weep;
yet deep within their slumbers keep
that small promise of the Flower...

then comes the Hour the Dawn will break -
Spring is Coming! Spring is coming!
The Sun appears; the shadows quake,
set free, the Soul from soil will shake
to greet that Day when all awake - 
Spring is Coming! Spring is Coming!
