One spring day...



Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise! -Wallace Stevens

The naked earth is warm with spring,
And with green grass and
bursting trees
Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,
And quivers in the sunny breeze.
~Julian Grenfell

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers,
laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
-
Thomas Blackburn

Five busy bees on a lovely spring day.
The first one said, "Let's fly away."
The second one said, "We'll drink some nectar sweet."
The third one said, "Let's get pollen on our feet."
The fourth one said, "And then we'll make some honey."
The fifth one said, "Good thing it's warm and sunny!"
So the five busy bees went flying along,
Singing a happy honeybee song.
Bzzzzzzzzzz!

April hath put a
spirit of youth in everything. ~William Shakespeare
