When tepid March winds, start to blow,
we lose old drifts of winter's snow
to bless farm fields with anxious mud,
and rivers poised for springtime flood.
Exhausted wind by All Fool's Day
leaves April clouds of sodden gray.
We know spring showers fulfill a need
for last years crop of thirsting seed.
On May days though the sun burns bright
and Lilac blooms perfume the night,
while anxiously some lovers kiss
with hope that June brings mated bliss
