On the coming of spring,              the bears awaken

On the coming of spring,               the bees come out

On the coming of spring,                the birds chirp louder

On the coming of spring,                 the snakes slither about 

On the coming of spring, an elephant trumpets, 

A baby is born. A cub, a pup, a duckling

A human cries tears of sadness; tears of joy

A gazelle watches as the sun sets on the valley below

A lion roars;

It is spring once more
