Курсовая работа: An Evergreen topic in British classical literature, children’s poems and everyday speech: patterns of climate in the British isles

Let us sledge and ski!

When I’m dashing down the hill

Clear the way for me!

* * *

Down comes the snow on a winter day.

I make a snow-man when I go to play.

* * *

It’s winter, it’s winter,

Let us skate and ski!

It’s winter, it’s winter,

It’s great fun for me!

* * *

Sing a song of a winter,

Be happy and gay,

Dance around the snow-man,

Come out and play.

Spring begins in March but May is one of the driest months, especially in eastern and central England; however, April is drier in parts of the west and north. April and especially May are the favorite in English poetry: “April, April, laugh thy girlish laughter; then, the moment after weep thy girlish tears!” (William Watson);

“O, how this spring of love resembles the uncertain glory of an April day” (William Shakespeare);

“And after April, when May follows and the hedge leans to the field and scatters on the clover …” (Robert Browning).

And the children’s rhymes say: “March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers”.

March brings breezes,

Loud and shrill

To stir the dancing daffodil.

* * *

April brings the primrose sweet,

Scatters daisies at our feet.
