about

Living through the Victorian era, Winn witnessed many changes to life and the community in which he lived. His writings show that the seasons and the landscape were a constant for him. A refrain has been added.

lyrics

Now the rude rugged winter retreats to the north
Where he revels in frost all the year
And nature rejoicing begins to bring forth
The livery the spring loves to wear

So come, come, a toast to spring and round the maypole sing

The larks make the welkin resound with their song
While the thrush fills with music the grove
The blackbird sings sweetly the green boughs among
And the wood pigeon coos to his love

The flocks fed on winter on roots pulse and hay
Now rejoice through the pasture to range
The lambs cheer the scene with their innocent play
And all nature exults in the change

The farmer with joy sees the blade springing up
Where so lately he guided the share
And he prays for mild seasons to favour the crop
Which in autumn repays all his care

Haste away from the city dear friend for a time
Bid the circles of fashion adieu
And enjoy in the country the spring in its prime
Now its charms it expands to our view
