Berkeley ' s Seasons It ' s springtime in Berkeley When buds are drawing bees, When birds have left their winter nests, And trees are sprouting leaves. It ' s summertime in Berkeley When days are warm and long, When butterflies flit here and there, And crickets sing their song. It ' s autumn time in Berkeley When breezy north winds blow, When leaflets don their autumn coats, And signs of summer go. It ' s winter time in Berkeley When ends the seasons ' round, When peace on earth, good will to men, Within all hearts abound. PHYLLIS KARG.
