In a sentence

はるが春がspringきた来たcame

Spring has come

How it works

(subject) presents はる (spring) as fresh news — "spring (is what) arrived". The verb 来るくる (come) is irregular; its plain past becomes 来たきた (came), with the reading shifting to きた. Plain past, no polite ending, so it sounds like a happy little announcement to oneself.
