When the buds are blossoming, <br />Smiling welcome to the spring, <br />Lovers choose a wedding day - <br />Life is love in merry May! <br /> <br />Spring is green - Fal lal la! <br />Summer's rose - Fal lal la! <br />It is sad when Summer goes, <br />Fal la! <br />Autumn's gold - Fal lal la! <br />Winter's grey - Fal lal la! <br />Winter still is far away - <br />Fal la! <br />Leaves in Autumn fade and fall; <br />Winter is the end of all. <br />Spring and summer teem with glee: <br />Spring and summer, then, for me! <br />Fal la! <br /> <br />In the Spring-time seed is sown: <br />In the Summer grass is mown: <br />In the Autumn you may reap: <br />Winter is the time for sleep. <br /> <br />Spring is hope - Fal lal la! <br />Summer's joy - Fal lal la! <br />Spring and Summer never cloy, <br />Fal la! <br />Autumn, toil - Fal lal la! <br />Winter, rest - Fal lal la! <br />Winter, after all, is best - <br />Fal la! <br />Spring and summer pleasure you, <br />Autumn, ay, and winter, too - <br />Every season has its cheer; <br />Life is lovely all the year! <br />Fal la!<br /><br />William Schwenck Gilbert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-lovely-all-the-year/
