In contrast to the lusty young man of Spenser’s personification, in William Watson’s lines April appears as a young girl, referring to the frequent periods of sunshine and showers characteristic of this month.

APRIL    William Watson

April, April,
Laugh thy girlish laughter;
Then, the moment after,
Weep thy girlish tears!
