"Beautiful In Spring," by Hans Ostrom, Lyrics, and Inez Fanny Winstead,M...

Beautiful in Spring

We'll all be beautiful in Spring

in spite of how they've hated
and tried to make us hate.

Sunlight will infuse green leaves
with gold. It will round out our beauty,
too. The fantastic browns

of earth will nourish our context.
We'll talk superbly with each other.

sometimes without talking.

We'll do Spring walking

And see birds flocking

When we're beautiful in Spring. 

Yes, it's true: beauty's not
for the few. It's standard issue.
Let the dirty drifts and banks

of comparison melt away
to feed the flowers

hour by hour, and we'll smell

fragances in Spring, yes

fragance is the thing,
when we're all beautiful

You'll see. You'll see

when you're beautiful in Spring
