The days are getting longer now, hooray!Says little Meekoo as he climbs a treeThe forest won’t seem quite as dark todayThe forest is where Meekoo likes to beWhen Yule begins, the winter starts to endAnd Meekoo knows that spring will be here soonA fact on which he knows he can dependAs surely as the stars, the sun, the moonThe moon is cold, the stars all twinkle pureThe sun gives light and makes the springtime warm Of this and more young Meekoo can be sureAs sure as cold and snow in winter’s stormYoung Meekoo knows the hope the Yule can bringThe hope of life revived in precious spring.
