SPRING QUOTES
quotations about spring

To deck Love's altar in the days of spring.

Only to youth will spring be spring.

at the end of the day,
you should smell like dirt.

Spring this year has got me feeling
Like a horse that never left the post,
I lie in my room staring up at the ceiling,
Spring can really hang you up the most!
ELLA FITZGERALD
"Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most"
Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April love old
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Cause time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
CARLY SIMON
"Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year"
What a strange thing!
To be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.
KOBAYASHI ISSA
Poems
Fair Spring! whose simplest promise more delights
Than all their largest wealth, and thro' the heart
Each joy and new-born hope
With softest influence breathes.
ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD
"Ode to Spring"
You can never hold back spring
You can be sure
I will never stop believing
The blushing rose that will climb
Spring ahead or fall behind
Winter dreams the same dream every time
Baby you can never hold back spring
TOM WAITS
"You Can Never Hold Back Spring"
If spring never comes
And April won't show her face
You'll take her place
If spring never comes
FRANKIE LAINE
"If Spring Never Comes"
always
it's
spring
and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves
e. e. cummings

Spring as concept raged in upon us, a somber tide of longing. Its advent roused the passions of those nameless multitudes fallen between the cracks of the city, sweeping them noiselessly toward the quicksands of futility.
HARUKI MURAKAMI

Tantarrara! the joyous Book of Spring
Lies open, writ in blossoms.
WILLIAM ALLINGHAM
"Daffodil"
The spring's already at the gate
With looks my care beguiling;
The country round appeareth straight
A flower-garden smiling.
HEINRICH HEINE
"Catherine", Book of Songs
Hear the birds start to sing
Feel the life in the breeze
Watch the ice melt away
The kids are coming out to play
Feel the sun on your skin
Growing strong and warm again
Watch the ground: there's something moving
Something is breaking through
New life is breaking through
Spring is coming
STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN
"Spring Is Coming"
Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done;
To have advanc'd true friends, and beat down baffling foes?
MATTHEW ARNOLD
"Empedocles on Etna"
