“The year's at the spring / And day's at the morn; / Morning's at seven; / The hillside's dew-pearled; / The lark's on the wing; / The snail's on the thorn; / God's in his heaven - / All's right with the world!”
Robert Browning
“I have desired to go / Where springs not fail, / To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail / And a few lilies blow,”
Gerard Manley Hopkins
“Four ducks on a pond, / A grass-bank beyond, / A blue sky of spring, / White clouds on the wing: / What a little thing / To remember for years - / To remember with tears!”

“Their smiles, / Wan as primroses gathered at midnight / By chilly-fingered Spring.”
John Keats
“I will be joining the campaign with a song in my heart, with a spring in my step”
