A Sweet Sugarlandia Spring

The Sweetest Spell of Spring
Anca Bautista

At the close of cold, trapped winter, open wide the door,
Greet the brilliant promise of a day with much in store.
The golden rays of sunshine, spilling languid and alight;
A fine, romantic picnic to last from noon to night;
Bewitching strains of music, bright whimsy in the air,
A spread of cool elixirs poured out for friends to share;
Laughter from the gardens, games across the lawns,
The dreamy scent of flowers as the veil of dusk is drawn.

And now, you dreamers, waken: come drink, and dance, and sing!
The dream you have been dreaming is the sweetest spell of spring.

The dreamy scent of flowers as the veil of dusk is drawn.

And now, you dreamers, waken: come drink, and dance, and sing!
