Four Seasons of the Year

From Ella Mary Leather, Folk-Lore of Herefordshire, pp. 207-208.
From the singing of John Morgan, collected at Dilwyn, October 1905.

The spring is the quarter, the first that I'll mention,
The fields and the meadows are covered with green,
And the trees throw out their buds with their fruitful intention,
Which every year is so plain to be seen.
