For April -another of the hopeful,welcoming months with a Spring in the step- i always think of Robert Browning's "Home Thoughts,from Abroad": "O to be in England/Now that April's there,/And whoever wakes in England/Sees,some morning,unaware/That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf/Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,/While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough/In England-now!"...
