Of poetry and quotes
The rain is raining all around,It falls on field and tree;
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
- Langston Hughes, April Rain Song
Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly–and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.
- Omar Khayyám
Sweet April showers
Do spring May flowers.
- Thomas Tusser, A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry, 1557
When the April wind wakes the call for the soil, I hold the plough
as my only hold upon the earth, and, as I follow through the fresh
and fragrant furrow, I am planted with every foot-step, growing,
budding, blooming into a spirit of spring.
- Dallas Lore Sharp, 1870-1929
Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.
- Virgil A. Kraft
And fairey month of waking mirth
From whom our joys ensue
Thou early gladder of the earth
Thrice welcom here anew
With thee the bud unfolds to leaves
The grass greens on the lea
And flowers their tender boon recieves
To bloom and smile with thee
- John Clare, Spring
Just sitting quiety, doing nothing,
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.
- Zenrin poem
Science has never drummed up quite as effective
a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.
- W. Earl Hall
