April Showers

Sweet April showers

Do spring May flowers

Thomas Tusser

In the spring a young man's fancy

lightly turns to thoughts of love

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first

spring day is another. The difference between them is

sometimes as great as a month

Henry Van Dyke

The month of May was come,

when every lusty heart beginneth

to blossom, and to bring forth fruit;

for like as herbs and trees bring

forth fruit and flourish in May,

in likewise every lusty heart

that is in any manner a lover,

springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds.

For it giveth unto all lovers courage,

that lusty month of May.

Sir Thomas Malory
