| 1 Balance of light; spring equinox. From winters dark, welcome respite. Shining equally on the earth: the sun by day, the moon by night. Balance of light. |
 |
2 Colours so clean; crocuses white and purple burst through grasses green. Primroses, pale and shy, daffodils, yellow, bright and bold are seen. Colours so clean. |
3 Music we hear; the buzzing bees, the humming insects now appear. In fields the calling of the lambs, in woods the bird song loud and clear. Music we hear. |
4 New lives abound; ducklings and chicks break free of shells in which they’re bound, squirming tadpoles leave their spawn, early butterflies are found. New lives abound. |
5 Time of rebirth; birds seek their mates and build their nests. To prove their worth hares box in fields. Badger and fox have born their cubs beneath the earth. Time of rebirth. |
6 Everything new; the plumage of the birds, yellow, black, pink and blue we imitate with bonnets decked with flowers of every shade and hue. Everything new. |
7 Old fires are cold; new flames we need. Outdated thoughts we must not hold. Outworn ideas must not impede the growth of plans both new and bold. Old fires are cold. |
8 First day of spring; new growth, new life in every place. And everything we see reminds us; hatching chicks, unfurling leaves, birds on the wing. First day of spring. |
