two for joy

there’s warmth in the breezes
and dew on the grass
whisp’ring spring will soon be here
the winter is over
death’s done at last
and now we have nothing to fear

ring two
ring two for joy

it’s love we’ve been given
and hope we’ve held
and gladness that goes past the tomb
for the dragon of sorrow
has now been felled
and the harrowed earth is a womb

ring two for joy
my darling, my dears
ring two, sing two
and dry your tears
ring two for joy
my darling, my dears
ring two
ring two for joy
