Ooh, I hope this love is gonna last, I've fallen
Ooh, the feeling's getting really strong
Ooh, gives me strength to carry on, I've fallen, I've fallen
Spring affair
DONNA SUMMER

Once I was a sentimental thing,
Threw my heart away each spring,
Now a spring romance hasn't got a chance
Promised my first dance to winter

In April the sweet showers fall
And pierce the drought of March to the root, and all
The veins are bathed in liquor of such power
As brings about the engendering of the flower.

Don't you know what that is? It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want--oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
MARK TWAIN
Tom Sawyer, Detective
All things seem mention of themselves
And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
Hugely, spring exists again.

Spring fever, my heart's beating fast
Get up, get out spring is everywhere

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring--
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush.

Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king.
THOMAS NASHE
Summer's Last Will and Testament
O Spring, of hope and love and youth and gladness
Wind-wingèd emblem! brightest, best and fairest!
Whence comest thou, when, with dark Winter's sadness
The tears that fade in sunny smiles thou sharest?
Sister of joy! thou art the child who wearest
Thy mother's dying smile, tender and sweet;
Thy mother Autumn, for whose grave thou bearest
Fresh flowers, and beams like flowers, with gentle feet,
Disturbing not the leaves which are her winding sheet.
PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
The Revolt of Islam
It's Spring again
I can hear the birds sing again
See the flowers start to bud
See young people fall in love
LOU RAWLS
"Spring Again"
Well now, the barnyard is busy, in a regular tizzy
And the obvious reason is because of the season
Ma nature's lyrical with her yearly miracle
Spring, spring, spring
FRED ASTAIRE
"Spring, Spring, Spring"
Spring is the rutting season of mankind.
ABRAHAM MILLER
Unmoral Maxims
The budding and blooming of spring seem to belong properly to the opening of the months. It is the season of the quickest expansion, of the warmest blood, of the readiest growth; it is the boy-age of the year. The birds sing in chorus in the spring--just as children prattle; the brooks run full--like the overflow of young hearts; the showers drop easily--as young tears flow; and the whole sky is as capricious as the mind of a boy.
DONALD G. MITCHELL
"Spring", Dream Life: A Fable of the Seasons
The spring is a lively emblem of the Resurrection.
ANNE BRADSTREET
Meditations Divine and Moral
Come Next Spring
When all the world is new
And fresh
And green
And fair
Then I'll come home
And I'll carry in my heart
Just one prayer
That I'll find you
Still waiting for my arms
We'll meet
We'll kiss
We'll cling
And then once more
Love will blossom as before
Come
Come on next spring
SCOTT WALKER
"Come Next Spring"
For thou, O Spring! canst renovate
All that high God did first create.
