April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/simon_and_garfunkel/april_come_she_will.html ]
June, sheŽll change her tune,
In restless walks sheŽll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.
August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
September IŽll remember.
A love once new has now grown old.
This song is so simply and beautifully expressed. This is about a five month relationship, one that started so sweetly, but later all of the infatuation has died out, and reality sets in. For anyone, in any relationship, this is so. Infatuation is a powerful thing, but once it dies you are left with just the you's and me's of any relationship. The way weather and seasons are used to express the moods and the literal time periods within the relationship are remarkably written.
