The author of the text of this Ode to Spring is perhaps better known to posterity as Jonathan Swift's "Vanessa". This edition is offered at original pitch for A.T.T.B. or transposed up a sixth for S.S.A.T.
Lyrics: Esther Vanhomrigh

Hail blushing goddess, beauteous Spring,
Who in thy jocund train dost bring
Loves and graces, smiling hours,
Balmy breezes, fragrant flow'rs;
Come, with tints of roseate hue,
Nature's faded charms renew.
