'The winds of March all blown away the April skies show fair'
FARNDALE DAFFODILS - Graeme Miles

'Ronnie me lad thi ship is noo leavin
An t convoy is headin for Arctic seas
April without thee is past beleivin
Already there's leaves on our wych-elm trees'
RONNIE - Dorothy Una Ratcliffe

'...though snow is still seen on the moorlands
And winds are companioned by hail
Yet April the year's fortune teller
Is gypsying right up the dale'
APRIL IN WENSLEYDALE - Dorothy Una Ratcliffe
