"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with [a July thing]
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of [Spring].
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of [June]."
And dogs, and hens, and humans are back to needing extra fur and new thick jackets, don't we ever dare to speak about Spring again :)
