The Succession of the Four Sweet Months

First, April, she with mellow showers opens the way for early flowers;

then after her comes smiling May, in a more rich and sweet array:

next enters June and brings us more gems than those two that went before:

then (lastly,) July comes and she More wealth brings in than all those three;

April! May! June! July!
