April Come She Will | Project 365 : Days 90-120 | Authentic Sarasota Portrait Photography
Cuckoo, Cuckoo What do you do? "In April I open my bill; In May I sing night and day; In June I change my tune;
In July Away I fly; In August Away I must.”
~nursery rhyme
Project 365, Day 120! And just like that, it’s May. Spring is pushing her way through the surface in most parts of the country. The trees in Wisconsin were just starting to bud when I was there a few weeks ago. In Florida, it feels like summer, with the heat and humidity already creeping up. If you’ve been following me on Instagram or Facebook, you know that I’ve managed to create a real habit out of this challenge. I hope you’re enjoying it! And just like that, we are 1/3rd of the way through my first 365 Project!
Yesterday’s picture included words to one of my favorite songs. My friend Heidi posted that she thought it was a lovely poem. That lead me to wonder if the lyrics to that song were inspired by anything else? Lo and behold, I found the above nursery rhyme and I think it’s clear to see that Mr Simon’s lyrics were indeed inspired by it. The message is clear. Time moves quickly. And no matter what we do, it will keep moving. We turn around and 10, 20, 50 years have passed.
April, comes she will,
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain.
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again.
June, she'll change her tune.
In restless walks she'll 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, I'll remember.
A love once new has now grown old.
