SPRING QUOTES III
quotations about spring
A little bird, he told me so
He said come on, get on the go
Open your eyes the sky is full of butterflies
The blossoms on the trees stir up the honey bees
Spring makes my fever right
ELVIS PRESLEY
"Spring Fever"
Every April God rewrites the Book of Genesis.
AUSTIN O'MALLEY
Keystones of Thought
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
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
The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;
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
Pippa Passes
All things seem mention of themselves
And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
Hugely, spring exists again.
JOHN ASHBERY
"Grand Galop"
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

The snow has not yet left the earth, but spring is already asking to enter your heart.
ANTON CHEKHOV

Don't you know what that is? 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

For thou, O Spring! canst renovate
All that high God did first create.

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
"Spring Again"
Come, gentle Spring; ethereal Mildness, come!
JAMES THOMSON
"Spring", The Seasons
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"
Nothing is so beautiful as Spring--
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush.
GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS
"Spring"
The spring is a lively emblem of the Resurrection.
ANNE BRADSTREET
Meditations Divine and Moral
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"
Once I was a sentimental thing,
Threw my heart away each spring,
Now a spring romance hasn't got a chance
Promised my first dance to winter
ELLA FITZGERALD
"Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most"
I suppose the best kind of spring morning is the best weather God has to offer.
DODIE SMITH
