Welcoming spring

Out of the cave! Out of the hole!
Came the rabbit and the foal.

Hatch from egg in the nest,
The birds too join the fest!

The leaves green and flowers swing
Do you know that it is spring?

The bugs are back,
And little spiders in black!

Bears, rabbits and bees,
Near flowers, grass and trees!

Just like me they hum,
That spring has come!
