[Spring:]

The Spring was here, the skies were blue

The birds seem'd glad to sing

The very sweetest song they knew

Ev'ry happiness to bring

Sweet nature dressed in colors bright

The flowers brought good cheer

The Spring was here, the world was right

And I knew that you were near



[Fall:]

The Fall was here, alas! I found

That the birds had flown away

The skies were dark for miles around

And the whole world seem'd to pray, darling

The sun had gone, the flowers died

And all nature look'd forlorn

It seem'd to me the angels cried

And I knew that you had gone
