SPRING QUOTES III
quotations about spring
Well now, the barnyard is busy, in a regular tizzy
And the obvious reason is because of the season
Ma nature's lyrical with her yearly miracle
Spring, spring, spring
FRED ASTAIRE
"Spring, Spring, Spring"
Or maybe spring is the season of love and fall the season of mad lust. Spring for flirting but fall for the untamed delicious wild thing.
ELIZABETH COHEN
The Hypothetical Girl
Carve for me, O admirable artist, the pleasant cup of Spring.
ANACREON
"Ode XVIII", Odes
Spring is strong and virtuous,
Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
Quickening underneath the mould
Grains beyond the price of gold.
So deep and large her bounties are,
That one broad, long midsummer day
Shall to the planet overpay
The ravage of a year of war.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
May-Day
Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king.
THOMAS NASHE
Summer's Last Will and Testament
I come, I come! ye have called me long,
I come o'er the mountain with light and song:
Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,
By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,
By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,
By the green leaves, opening as I pass.
FELICIA HEMANS
Voice of Spring
You're my spring love
No one makes me feel like you do, oh
Spring love
Spring love
There'll be no one after you
THE COVER GIRLS
"Spring Love"
The spring came suddenly, bursting upon the world as a child bursts into a room, with a laugh and a shout and hands full of flowers.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
Table-Talk
When soft May breezes fan the early woods,
And with her magic wand the blue-ey'd Spring
Quickens the swelling blossoms and the buds,
Then forth the russet partridge leads her brood,
While on the fallen tree-trunk drums her mate;
The quail her young in tangled thicket hides,
The dun deer with their fawns the forests range,
The wild-geese platoons hasten far in air;
The wild-ducks from their Southern lagoons pass,
And soaring high their Northwood journeying take;
The dusky coot along the coastline sweep;
The piping snipe and plover, that frequent
The sandy bars and beaches, wing their flight,
And all the grassy prairies of the West,
Teem with the speckled younglings of the grouse;
And all the budding forests and the streams
Are gay with beauty, joyous with young life.
ISAAC MCLELLAN
"Nature's Invitation"
The spring is a lively emblem of the Resurrection.
ANNE BRADSTREET
Meditations Divine and Moral
The snow has not yet left the earth, but spring is already asking to enter your heart.
ANTON CHEKHOV
The Exclamation Mark
Under the gay and renovating influence of spring, nature renews her charter to her sons.
JOSEPH DENNIE
attributed, Day's Collacon
The trees are cloth'd with leaves, the fields with grass;
The blossoms blow; the birds on bushes sing;
And Nature has accomplish'd all the spring.
VIRGIL
Eclogues
It's Spring again
I can hear the birds sing again
See the flowers start to bud
See young people fall in love
LOU RAWLS

Every April God rewrites the Book of Genesis.
AUSTIN O'MALLEY
Keystones of Thought
Spring fever, Spring is here at last
Spring fever, my heart's beating fast
Get up, get out spring is everywhere
ELVIS PRESLEY
"Spring Fever"
Ooh, guess I'm falling much too fast
Ooh, I hope this love is gonna last, I've fallen
Ooh, the feeling's getting really strong
Ooh, gives me strength to carry on, I've fallen, I've fallen
Spring affair
DONNA SUMMER
"Spring Affair"
Come, gentle Spring; ethereal Mildness, come!
JAMES THOMSON
"Spring", The Seasons
Out of the city, far away
With Spring today!
Where copse tufted with primrose
Give me repose,
Wood-sorrel and wild violet
Soothe my soul's fret.
WILLIAM ALLINGHAM
"A Holiday"
It's the first day of spring. That means this weekend I'll take down my Christmas lights.
