Robert Herrick - THE SUCCESSION OF THE FOUR SWEET MONTHS

2014-11-07 34

First, April, she with mellow showers
Opens the way for early flowers;
Then after her comes smiling May,
In a more rich and sweet array;
Next enters June, and brings us more
Gems than those two that went before;
Then, lastly, July comes, and she
More wealth brings in than all those three.

Robert Herrick
