"A dry April is not the farmer's will.
In April wet is what the farmer would get.
Till April is dead, change not a thread.
What March does not want April brings along.
When April blows his horn,
"Tis good for hay and corn.
"Tis good for hay and corn.
On the first of April crows are still sitting.
April floods carry off frogs and their broods.
The cuckoo comes in April.
When the cuckoo comes to the bare thorn,
Sell your cow and buy you corn ;
But when he comes to the full bit,
Sell your corn and buy you sheep.
If it thunders on All Fools' Day,
There will be good crops of corn and hay...." [cont...]
Hewett 1900
