The Universe is a drum beat
     (And She dances
     And She dances)
The slow winter pulse
Begins to quicken
Hidden life erupts
With a cymbal crash
     (And She dances
     And She dances)
Spin the grin of springtime
Drum-roll exegesis
Of Earth as testament
We sing lusty psalms
     (And She dances
     And She dances)
The sparkle of hope buds
In eggs and the possible hearts
Of wishers and witches
Lovers and the lovely
     (And She dances
     And She dances)
