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[风铃草]andcockleshells[章鱼兰],Tulips[郁金香]red and green,

Daffodils[黄水仙]andChinesesquill[绵枣儿],

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[月见草]Glistening[闪亮]with thedew[露珠].

We’d havefireweed[柳兰]andmilkweed[马利筋]And many more different flowers.

Mexican star[小丽花]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?
