Seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
Mark Twain
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!
William Blake
How sweet I roam’d from field to field, And tasted all the summer’s pride, Till I the prince of love beheld, Who in the sunny beams did glide!
T. S. Eliot
April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain.
E. E. Cummings
in Just- spring when the world is mud- luscious the little lame balloonman whistles far and wee
Ezra Pound
The leaves fall early this autumn, in wind. The paired butterflies are already yellow with August Over the grass in the West garden; They hurt me. I grow older.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I only know that summer sang in me A little while, that in me sings no more.
Thomas Hardy
I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was specter-gray, And Winter’s dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day.
William Shakespeare
How many things by season season’d are To their right praise and true perfection!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Of the dying year, to which this closing night Will be the dome of a vast sepulcher.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Henry Ford
Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest-home; All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin.
Edgar Allan Poe
The skies they were ashen and sober; The leaves they were crispèd and sere— The leaves they were withering and sere: It was night in the lonesome October Of my most immemorial year.
Robert Browning
Oh, to be in England now that April’s there, And whoever wakes in England sees, some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf Round the elm tree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England—now!
