Gates of Spring (Изгнанник)

I went off to my bed on one dark winter's night,
When the ground was all snowy and covered up white,
And snug in my blanket I started to dream
That the ice had all melted away from the stream.

Ooooh! Flip plop, hear the water drop,
And larks take wing as the buds go pop!
And the sun do shine as the birds do sing,
Throw open wide the gates of Spring!

Then I dreamt that I felt all the earth come awake,
And the sky was as blue as a clear mountain lake,
And through that old dream a good sound ringing true,
'Twas the heralding song of a happy cuckoo!

Ooooh! Flip plop, hear the water drop,
And larks take wing as the buds go pop!
And the sun do shine as the birds do sing,
Throw open wide the gates of Spring!

Fol de rol de lair oh lair oh,
Hail the newborn day,
Spring has made the weather fair oh,
Winter's gone away!
