Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
heralding a summer's early sway
And all the bulbs are coming in
to begin
The thrushes bleeding battle with the wrens disrupts my reverie again
Pegging clothing on the line
Training jasmine how to vine up the arbor to you door
anymore
Standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before
Once upon it yellow bonnets garland all along
You were waking and day was breaking a panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
A barony of ivy in the trees
expanding out its empire by degrees
And all the branches burst to bloom
in the boon
Heaven sent this Cardinal marooned to decorate our living room
Once upon it yellow bonnets garland all along
You were waking and day was breaking a panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
And years from now when this old light isn't ambling anymore
Will I bring myself to write
Will I bring myself to write
I give my best to Springville Hill
Once upon it yellow bonnets garland all along
You were waking and day was breaking a panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
