Love is the very heart of spring; / Flocks fall to loving on the lea / And wildfowl love upon the wing, / When spring first enters like a sea.
When spring first enters like a sea / Into the heart of everything, / Bestir yourselves religiously, / Incense before love's altar bring.
Incense before love's altar bring, / Flowers from the flowering hawthorn tree, / Flowers from the margin of the spring, / For all the flowers are sweet to see.
Love is the very heart of spring; / When spring first enters like a sea / Incense before love's altar bring, / And flowers while flowers are sweet to see.
Bring flowers while flowers are sweet to see; / Love is almighty, love's a King, / Incense before love's altar bring, / Incense before love's altar bring.
Love's gifts are generous and free / When spring first enters like a sea; / When spring first enters like a sea, / The birds are all inspired to sing.
Love is the very heart of spring, / The birds are all inspired to sing, / Love's gifts are generous and free; / Love is almighty, love's a King.
