Them early days of spring come ever nearer. Here is a small song ter celebrate that!
Best sung to the tune of It was pretty to be in Ballinderry, here in a rather sweet version by The Cottors. The version in-game is a little different, but still quite lovely.
This was one of me self-imposed 30-minute challenges, in trying ter write brand new lyrics in half an hour (usually the hour before Green Dragon Friday starts). It took 43 minutes tuts.
Although the original lyrics are rather sad, I found the tune lent itself nicely to a happy spring song. Me own version was first performed during Green Dragon Friday March 15 2013. I hope yer like it!
Grand spring song
How fair is our land when days grow longer
How fair is our land when sun takes hold
When winter’s last chill is ever forgotten
Flowery petals will soon unfold
A lassie awakes to cherish the weather
All her thoughts are light as a feather
Her dress is of linen with colours bright
And she has somewhere to be tonight
She enters the wood by light of a lantern
Searches until she finds the spring
And there she sits down and listens closely
Birds chirping sweet as badgers sing
The forest is fair when days grow longer
And up there ahead a warming sight
When she greets the lad that promised he’d be there
With hugs and kisses all through the night
How fair is our land when days grow longer
How fair is our land when sun takes hold
When winter’s last chill is ever forgotten
Flowery petals will soon unfold
