'That's Spring' by William Forde
"When spring leaves winter standing in the distance
and lupins poke their heads above surrounding tuffs of grass.
That's the time when rambling sweethearts set off walking.
That's the time when ardent sweethearts stop their talking.
That's the time when lover's dew is in the making.
That's the time when happiness is there, just for the taking.
That treasured time, shared between every lad and lass,
amid the silent lupins and surrounding tuffs of grass.
That's the time. That's spring."
