The sun was warm, but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still.
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as as dares speak,
A cloud come over the sunlit arch
and wind comes off a frozen peak.
And you're two months back in the middle of March
Robert Frost Two Tramps in Mud Time 1926

“And Spring arose on the garden fair
Like the spirit of love felt everywhere;
and each flower and herb on earths dark breast
rose from the dreams of it's winter rest”
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The sensitive Plant.

The lyric sound of laughter
Tells all the April hills
The joy song of the crocus
The mirth of daffodils.
Clinton Scollard Quotes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first of April, some do say
Is set apart for all fools day
But why the people call it so
Nor I, nor they themselves do know
But on this day are people sent
on purpose for pure merriment
Poor Robins Almanac 1790

I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers.
Of April, May, or June, and July flowers.
I sing of Maypoles, Hock-carts, Wassails,
Of bridegrooms, brides, and and bridal cakes.
Robert Herrick, Hesperides 1688
