1. Little Seeds

By Else Holmelund Minarik

Little seeds we sow in spring

Growing while robins sing, 

Give us carrots, peas, and beans, 

Tomatoes, pumpkins, squash and greens.

And we pick them,

One and all, 

Through the summer, 

Through the fall. 

Winter comes, then spring, and then

Little seeds we sow again. 

2. Buttercups And Daisies

By Mary Howitt

“Buttercups and daisies,

Oh, the pretty flowers,

Coming here the springtime,

To tell of sunny hours.

While the trees are leafless, 

While the fields are bare,

Buttercups and daisies,

Spring up here and there”

3. Spring

By Mohammed Rashid

I love spring

Spring is new

It’s new blades of grass

It’s rain on a lass

It’s violet and rain

It’s a wood-scented lane

It’s a new bird song

It’s days growing long

It’s a tree in bud and puddles of mud

It’s birds in a tree and buzz from a bee

It’s kites in the sky

It’s spring. That’s why

I love spring

4. Flying A Kite

By Lenore Hetrick

The best game of all is flying kites!

I don’t care what you say!

What fun it is when the big wind comes, 

And carries your kite away.

Up, up it goes into the deep blue

Like an airship, red and white!

Want a heap of fun? Then take my tip.

Go out and buy a kite!

5. Spring’s Way

By Patricia L. Cisco

Winter fights to stay

Sweet spring always wins her way.

Flowers bloomed today!

Spring has final say,

Sending winter on his way.

Her true love is May!

Spring’s June wedding day.

White lily and rose bouquet.

Bells ring out today!

6. The Swing

By Robert Louis Stevenson

How do you like to go up in a swing, 

Up in the air so blue?

Oh! I do think it’s the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,

Till I can see so wide, 

River and trees and cattle and all

Over the countryside. 

Till I look down on the garden green,

Down on the roof so brown

Up in the air I go fly again, 

Up in the air and down!

7. It’s Spring

By Winnifred J. Mott

Good bye, snow! Good bye, ice!

Though of course, you’re very nice,

I am glad you’ve gone away.

Leaving us this fine spring day.

Here’s my good old bat and ball!

Marbles too! How are you all?

I am sure that I can play

Without you now, most any day.

Good bye, winter! Though it’s true

I’ve had lots of fun with you,

Now I just could shout and sing;

I am so glad because it’s spring!

8. The Gladness Of Nature

By John Greenleaf Whittier

Is this a time to be cloudy and sad,

When our Mother Nature laughs around,

When even the deep blue heavens look glad,

And gladness breathes from the blossoming ground?

There are notes of joy from the hangbird and wren,

And the gossips of shallows through all the sky;

The ground squirrel gayly chirps by his den,

And the wilding bee hums merrily by. 

The clouds are at play in the azure space, 

And their shadows at play on the bright green vale, 

And here they stretch to the frolic chase, 

And there they roll on the easy gale.

There’s a dance of leaves in that aspen bower;

There’s a titter of winds in that beechen tree;

There’s a smile on the fruit, and a smile on the flower,

And a laugh from the brook that runs to the sea. 

And look at the broad faced sun, how he smiles

On the dewy earth that smiles in his ray,

On the leaping waters, and gay young isles,

Ay, look and he’ll smile thy gloom away.

9. Waiting To Grow

By Frank French

Little, white snowdrop just waking up, 

Violet, daisy, and sweet buttercup, 

Think of the flowers that are under the snow,

Waiting to grow!

And think what a number of queer little seeds, 

Of flower and mosses, of ferns and of weeds,

Are under the leaves and under the snow,

Waiting to grow!

Think of the roots getting ready to sprout,

Reaching their slender brown fingers about, 

Under the ice and the leaves and the snow, 

Waiting to grow!

No seed is so small, or hidden so well, 

That God cannot find it; and soon he will tell

His sun where to shine, and his rain where to go,

Making it grow!

10. Spring To Summer

By Genevieve Gaherty

The daffodils now blooming in the sun

Signalling to us that winter is done

With different flowers soon to show their hues

Tulips now blossoming, with red, white and blues. 

Spring is such a lovely time of year

Telling us, that summer is near

Time to sit outside, on a nice day

Perhaps taking a break, if you may

Grass is now green, there are buds in the trees.

Planting soon starts, with different seeds

Let’s hope it will be a lovely year

Thankful for the things, that we hold dear. 

11. Spring Is Here

By Kenn Nesbitt

Spring is here!

At last it’s here!

I’m so glad

I gave a cheer!

I am so pleased 

I had to say,

“Wow! Yippee!

Hip-hip hooray!”

I’m so thrilled 

I did a dance.

Then I went

And wet my plants.

12. A Spring Morning

By John Clare

The spring comes in with all her hues and smells,

In freshness breathing over hills and dells;

O’er woods where may her gorgeous drapery flings,

And meads washed fragrant by their laughing springs.

Fresh are new opened flowers, untouched and free.

From the bold rifling of the amorous bee. 

The happy time of a singing bird is come,

And love’s lone pilgrimage now finds a home;

Among the mossy oaks now coos the dove,

And the hoarse crow finds softer notes for love.

The foxes play around their dens, and bark

In joy’s excess, mid woodland shadows dark.

The flowers join lips below; the leaves above;

And every sound that meets the ear is love.
