APRIL
Then April comes with sunshine and with showers
To start the buds and wake the sleeping flowers.
Along the fields there comes a touch of green—
Upon the trees the bursting buds are seen,
And bluebirds bright, with robins blithely sing
And all things feel the thrilling touch of spring.

And all things feel the thrilling touch of spring.
MAY
In May we tread again the pleasant woods
And search the fields for sweet arbutus buds;
'Tis then the shad puts on its spotless sheen
And daffodils and adder-tongues are seen—
The orchards, too, are radiant with bloom
And all the air is filled with sweet perfume.

JUNE
Oh! June, thou month of joy and love and peace
Of boundless skies soft flecked with clouds of fleece,
Of balmy winds that whisper of content—
With hedge and lawn and garden radiant
With all the sweetest, fairest flowers that blow—
Oh! June, dear June! how can I let thee go?

Of boundless skies soft flecked with clouds of fleece,
Of balmy winds that whisper of content—

With all the sweetest, fairest flowers that blow—
