The softest blush that nature spreads
Gave color to her cheek:
Such orient color smiles through heaven
When vernal mornings break. [ Mallet ]

No vernal blooms their tropid rocks array
But winter lingering chills the lap of May. [ Goldsmith ]

No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array,
But winter lingering chills the lap of May;
No zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast.
But meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest. [ Goldsmith ]

The winds of winter wailing through the woods;
The mighty laughter of the vernal floods. [ Abraham Coles ]

No radiant pearl which crested fortune wears,
No gem that, twinkling, hangs from beauty's ears,
Not the bright stars which night's blue arch adorn,
Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn.
Shine with such lustre as the tear that breaks
For other's woe, down virtue's manly cheeks. [ Darwin ]

Thus came the lovely spring, with a rush of blossoms and music, flooding the earth with flowers and the air with melodies vernal. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]
