Spring and Winter
«William Shakespeare»
WHEN daisies pied and
violets blue,
And lady-smocks all
silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the
meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo!--O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are
ploughmen's clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach
their summer smocks
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo!--O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
