1. “A Light exists in Spring” by Emily Dickinson

A Light exists in Spring

Not present on the Year

At any other period —

When March is scarcely here

2. “Written in March” by William Wordsworth

The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter,
The green field sleeps in the sun;

3. “March Moon” by Langston Hughes

The moon is naked.
The wind has undressed the moon.
The wind has blown all the cloud-garments
Off the body of the moon
And now she’s naked,
Stark naked.

"Put down your Hat— You must have walked— How out of Breath you are— Dear March, how are you, and the Rest— Did you leave Nature well— Oh March, Come right upstairs with me— I have so much to tell—" — Emily Dickinson, Dear March—Come in—
