    Spring Poetry

    She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,

    She wore her greenest gown;

    She turned to the south wind

    And curtsied up and down.

    She turned to the sunlight

    And shook her yellow head,

    And whispered to her neighbor,

    "Winter is dead."

    by A.A. Milne




    I Meant to do my Work Today

    by Richard Le Gallienne



    I meant to do my work today,

    but a brown bird sang in the apple tree, 

    and a butterfly flitted across the field,

    and all the leaves were calling me.



    And the wind went sighing over the land,

    Tossing the grasses to and fro,

    And a rainbow held out its shining hand--

    So what could I do but laugh and go?



    My Spring Garden

    (author unknown)

    Here is my little garden

    Some seeds I'm going to sow.

    Here is my rake to rake the ground,

    Here is my handy hoe.


    Here is the big, round yellow sun;

    The sun warms everything

    Here are the rain clouds in the sky;

    The birds will start to sing.

    Little plants will wake up soon,

    And lift their sleepy heads;

    Little plants will grow and grow

    In their little, warm earth beds.
