A favorite of mine
(Frost, I believe)
Nature's first green is gold
her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower
but only so an hour.
The leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

Song by Rupert Brooke
All suddenly the wind comes soft,
And Spring is here again;
And the hawthorn quickens with buds of green,
And my heart with buds of pain.
My heart all Winter lay so numb,
The earth so dead and frore,
That I never thought the Spring would come,
Or my heart wake any more.
But Winter's broken and earth has woken,
And the small birds cry again;
And the hawthorn hedge puts forth its buds,
And my heart puts forth its pain.
Rupert Brooke, 1912

This Dylan Thomas part from Fern Hill is more about the springtime of life than about the actual season:
And as I was green and carefree, famous among the barns
About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home,
.....In the sun that is young once only,
..........Time let me play and be
.....Golden in the mercy of his means,
And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves
Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold,
..........And the sabbath rang slowly
.....In the pebbles of the holy streams.
