When spring returns
and the freshets flow
            wonderfully!
my singing burns
and my carols grow
            wonderfully!

When spring returns
and freshets run
            eagerly!
my singing churns
and my lay is spun
            eagerly!

When spring returns
and the freshets zoom
            mightily!
my singing yearns
and my psalming blooms
            mightily!

When spring returns
and the freshets sprint
            crazily!
my singing learns
how the song can glint
            crazily!

When spring returns
and the freshets jog
            dashingly!
my crooning turns
like a hurtling log
            dashingly!

When spring returns
and the freshets call
            enchantingly!
my heart discerns
how the woods enthrall
            enchantingly!

When spring returns
and the freshets sing
            boistrously!
my soul returns
from its wandering
            boistrously!
