“A pound of March dust ¶ Is worth a sack of gold. ¶ Soft April showers ¶ Bring forth May flowers.”
A pound of March dust
Is worth a sack of gold.Soft April showers
Bring forth May flowers.Evening grey and morning red
Makes the sailor shake his head.Evening red and morning grey
Is a sure sign of a good day.A rainbow in the morning
Is the sailors [sic] warning.A rainbow at noon
Fair weather soon. A rainbow at night
Is the sailors [sic] delight.A lack of May and a warm June
Makes the farmer whistle a merry tune.- Collector
