Last Line: TING-A-LING, RING-A-DING SPRING.
Subject(s): MUSIC & MUSICIANS; SPRING;

WHAT word wakes the woodland to music and life?
Spring, Spring, ting-a-ling Spring,
Ting-a-ling, ring-a-ding Spring.
What spell sets all nature in search of a wife?
Spring, Spring, ting-a-ling Spring.
Far down in a glade where the daffodils blow,
Each spear-head uplifted, each helmet aglow,
A thousand bright banners are tost in the breeze
As the March wind pipes lustily thro' the loud trees—
Spring, Spring, ting-a-ling Spring,
Ting-a-ling, ring-a-ding Spring.
