Spring
Song, from Act V, Scene 2 of Love’s Labors Lost by William Shakespeare (1598)
When daisies pied, and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
“Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo!” O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear.

Frezies are red
Violets are blue
All flowers are pretty
But yours are “mmmmm”.
