Ushering in the tepid days of Spring; subservient to Mother Nature's call, April is the reason; sweet songbirds sing. Flowers await the rains April will bring from a mere drizzle to a full-blown squall; ushering in the tepid days of Spring. As the migrating birds once more take wing and the wild geese gather for the long haul; April is the reason; sweet songbirds sing. April melts the icicles that still cling, and snow covering the colors of Fall; ushering in the tepid days of Spring. Being born in April, I've felt Her sting, and yet, although She sometimes plays hardball, April is the reason; sweet songbirds sing. As winter wains, April wets everything, wearing misty drops as Her morning shawl. Ushering in the tepid days of Spring, April is the reason; sweet songbirds sing.
