Who is it that beckons with an affectionate call

Who is it that beckons... with an affectionate call...
Her voice... resonating throughout the world...
Come one, come all, come let's go...

So the birds... sing in joy...
Suffusing dawn... with sweet melody...
Why then... this sorrow,
Why the tears in your eyes...

Why curl up in distress,
Why bereft of joy...

Let's go and fulfil... our hopes...
