Spring has sprung, fall has fell
Three more months we'll be back in hell
~Bootz
Trees grow free and flowers bloom bright
Not to worry about winter's cold night
Right now the world has not a care for a thing
In the name and spirit of the newborne spring
~ me

Sweetly breathing , vernal air,
That with kind warmth doth repair
Winter's ruins; from whose breast
All the gums and spice of the East
Borrow their perfumes; whose eye
Gilds the morn, and clears the sky.
- Thomas Carew, 1595 - 1645
It is dry, hazy June weather. We are more of the earth,
farther from heaven these days.
- Henry David Thoreau
May is a pious fraud of the almanac.
- James R. Lowell, 1819 - 1891
The air and the earth interpenetrated in the warm gusts
of spring; the soil was full of sunlight, and the sunlight full
of red dust. The air one breathed was saturated with
earthy smells, and the grass under foot
had a reflection of the blue sky in it.
- Willa Cather
Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.
- Doug Larson
If Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an
earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all hearts to behold
the miraculous change! But now the silent succession suggests nothing but necessity. To most men
only the cessation of the miracle would be miraculous and the perpetual exercise of God's power
seems less wonderful than its withdrawal would be.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.

Unspeakably, I have belonged to you, from the first.
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies, 9th, 1923
The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven,
All's right with the world!
- Robert Browning
Autumn arrives in the early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.

The tree is stripped,
All color, fragrance gone,
Yet already on the bough,
Uncaring spring!

Summer makes me drowsy,
Autumn makes me sing,
Winter’s pretty lousy,
but I hate Spring.
- Dorothy Parker
Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair
and let us huddle together as darkness takes over
We are at home amidst the birds and the trees,
for we are children of nature.
- Susan Polis Shutz
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.

....the world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

Spring makes everything look filthy.

The sun is on fire
In the sky
And in its warmth
Flowers open
In the garden
And the butterfly
Flutters by.

Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie.
- George Herbert
Now is the time of the illuminated woods ...
when every leaf glows like a tiny lamp.
- J. Burroughs
What potent blood hath modest May.
- Ralph W. Emerson, 1803 - 1882
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state
of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
- George Santayana
Earth is dry to the center,
But spring, a new comer,
A spring rich and strange,
Shall make the winds blow
Round and round,
Thro' and thro' ,
Here and there,
Till the air
And the ground
Shall be fill'd with life anew.
- Alfred Tennyson, Nothing Will Die
