Songfacts®:

• "April Come She Will" was composed by Paul Simon. Running just 1:51, it is the shortest track on the album Sounds of Silence.
• This song is also featured in the soundtrack to the film The Graduate. Meant to evoke the capriciousness of a young girl while relating it to how the seasons change, the lyrics were inspired by a nursery rhyme recited by an English girl with whom Simon had an affair. It stands to reason, then, that this would go along with the plot of The Graduate.
• Listen for an echo of this song in "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her," from S&G's subsequent album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme.
• This song isn't the only one with a classical lyric inspiration on that album; "Richard Cory" is also based on the poem of the same name by American poet Edwin Arlington Robinson.
