April Showers

She waits for me, my lady Earth,
Smiles and waits and sighs;
I'll say her nay, and hide away,
Then take her by surprise.

- Mary Mapes Dodge,
How the Rain Comes--April

A day of sunshine and showers, of rain-drenched rape blossoms and grass, their fragrance made all the sweeter by the warmth of the sun.
