April Showers

⊙ By Karen Chappell

April showers bring May flowers,

That is what they say.

But if all the showers turned to flowers,

We’d have quite a colourful day!

There’d bebluebells[風(fēng)鈴草]andcockleshells[章魚蘭],Tulips[郁金香]red and green,

Daffodils[黃水仙]andChinesesquill[綿棗兒],

The brightest you’ve ever seen.

You’d seetiger lilies[卷丹]and water lilies,Carnations[康乃馨]pink and blue,

Forget-me-not and smallsundrop[月見草]Glistening[閃亮]with thedew[露珠].

We’d havefireweed[柳蘭]andmilkweed[馬利筋]And many more different flowers.

Mexican star[小麗花]andshooting star[流星花],Falling in the showers.

And if all the showers turned to flowers

On that rainy April day,

Would all the flowers turn to showers

In the sunny month of May?
