PART 1

 

SPRING SUMMER

In the Spring time, the only pretty ring time
When birds do sing hey ding a ding ding
Sweet lovers love the spring

Shakespeare

 There was nothing to do,
nothing moved or happened at all
except Summer

Laurie Lee

 

 

PART 2

 

AUTUMN WINTER

There were three men came out of the west,

Their fortunes for to try,

And these three men made a solemn vow,

John Barleycorn should die.

Traditional

Shine out, fair sun, with all your heat…

Shine out, and make this winter night

Our beauty’s Spring,

Our Prince of light.

Anon
