First, April, she with mellow showers
Opens the way for early flowers;
Then after her comes smiling May,
In a more rich and sweet array;
Next enters June, and brings us more
Gems than those two that went before;
Then, lastly, July comes, and she
More wealth brings in than all those three.
I am busy working to bring Robert Herrick's "The Successon of the Four Sweet Months" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Robert Herrick's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Successon of the Four Sweet Months" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
