Be my spring in the deserted winter,

When everything withers inside me.

Shine on me like the spring sun,

Donโ€™t let me freeze from the chill.

Be my spring-fragrant flowers,

Be the hyacinth blue and my daffodil yellow.

A white falcon circling the blue sky,

A songbird never heard of.

Iโ€™ll be your little bee,

That doesnโ€™t rest in summer a single day.

To land on your petals,

To collect pollen from your orb.

Spring is dearest to me,

And wherefore Iโ€™ll make you mine.

All the time I feel the best in it,

Iโ€™ll never want to lose you yet again.

Iโ€˜ll cling you like a nightingale in the nest,

I am your modest blue violet.

Iโ€™ll decorate your fields with aromatics,

You wonโ€™t discern between dream and reality.

โ€ฆ.
