[Now spring returns with all the pleasing charms]
Now spring returns with all the pleasing charms
Which heart can wish or eye could hope to see
And every vally with her bounty swarms
But ah her bounty swarms in vain to me
Which heart can wish or eye could hope to see
And every vally with her bounty swarms
But ah her bounty swarms in vain to me
In [vain] for me she cloths the blooming fields
And rears the flowers & beautifies the trees
Fields flowers & trees to me no pleasure yields
But all's in vain this aching heart to please
And rears the flowers & beautifies the trees
Fields flowers & trees to me no pleasure yields
But all's in vain this aching heart to please
