Spring in verses, Verses in Spring*


It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~ Mark Twain

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. ~ Ruth Stout



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

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