I walked with Spring along a path
Where roses took a dew-dropped bath,
Where lilacs’ white and purple hues
Salute the day with rave reviews.
* * *
I danced with Spring along a creek
Where frisky frogs play hide-and-seek,
Where dogwood trees wore lacy gowns
Neath canopies of cotton crowns.
* * *
The earth stood still, my cares took flight;
My soul was filled with pure delight.
I walked with Spring where Nature trod
And gazed upon the face of God.

Trong nhöõng saéc maàu

Khi böôùc cuøng Xuaân
