Tympani tap out your beat,
pitter-patter at my feet,
notes that songbirds’ trills repeat,
raindrops unafraid.
Drips and drops in double time,
church-bells’ cheerful childhood chime,
sweet percussion, Springtime rhyme,
Sunshine’s Serenade.
Cranberry, clap your hands;
The sun has come to play!
The birds are chortling in their bands,
The bees buzz on their way.
*
Cranberry, lift your eyes;
An Artist’s touch is seen
Wherever light lands on the skies
Or gives a leaf green sheen.
*
Cranberry, feel sun’s smile;
Its warmth can comfort you,
Its rays can dry the tears you’ve cried
And make your soul feel new.
*
Cranberry, clap your hands;
The sun has come to play!
The birds are chortling in their bands,
The bees buzz on their way.

“You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!” Isaiah 55:12 NLT
