| March |
| March. Its tree, Juniper. Its stone, Bloodstone. Its motto, “Courage and strength in times of danger.” Old Saying. | 1 |
| Ah, March! we know thou art Kind-hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats, And, out of sight, art nursing April’s violets! Helen Hunt Jackson—Verses. March. | 2 |
| Slayer of the winter, art thou here again? O welcome, thou that bring’st the summer nigh! The bitter wind makes not the victory vain, Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky. William Morris—March. St. 1. | 3 |
| The ides of March are come. Julius Cæsar. Act III. Sc. 1. L. 1. | 4 |
| In fierce March weather White waves break tether, And whirled together At either hand, Like weeds uplifted, The tree-trunks rifted In spars are drifted, Like foam or sand. Swinburne—Four Songs of Four Seasons. St. 11. | 5 |
| With rushing winds and gloomy skies The dark and stubborn Winter dies: Far-off, unseen, Spring faintly cries, Bidding her earliest child arise; March! Bayard Taylor—March. | 6 |
| All in the wild March-morning I heard the angels call; It was when the moon was setting, and the dark was over all; The trees began to whisper, and the wind began to roll, And in the wild March-morning I heard them call my soul. Tennyson—The May Queen. Conclusion. | 7 |
| Up from the sea, the wild north wind is blowing Under the sky’s gray arch; Smiling I watch the shaken elm boughs, knowing It is the wind of March. Whittier—March. | 8 |
| Like an army defeated The snow hath retreated, And now doth fare ill On the top of the bare hill; The Ploughboy is whooping—anon—anon! There’s joy in the mountains: There’s life in the fountains; Small clouds are sailing, Blue sky prevailing; The rain is over and gone. Wordsworth—Written in March. | 9 |
