The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day

A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March.

In the meadows while you sing,
"This is Spring."

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds
is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the
