April Come She Will

"April Come She Will" is a song by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel from their second studio album, Sounds of Silence (1966).

[2] James Hardy lists regional variations to this folk rhyme about the Cuckoo - and the one closest to the lyrics is from Hampshire:In April, come I willIn May, I prepare to stayIn June, I change my tune [the call changes in June]In July, I prepare to flyIn August, go I must [Cuckoos migrate to Africa][3]It is the shortest song on the album.

[5] In the February 1968 release of the soundtrack for the movie The Graduate, the song appeared (in a different version) as the seventh track.

Matthew Greenwald of Allmusic wrote: "The sense of yearning in this song would later be beautifully echoed in one of the Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme masterpieces, "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her."

Conversely, the musical segment featured a visual gag referencing the poster of the 1967 film, The Graduate, for which Simon & Garfunkel provided the soundtrack.
