Seedling 5
When April’s sweet showers begin to fall,
And March’s drought is quenched and all
The world begins to rouse and wake,
And pilgrims have a pilgrimage to make,
Then will these selfsame travelers share,
Sundry tales to keep the company from care.

Am I looking for book or tag? Thanks.

>1 foof2you: You are looking for a book. A very, very, old-school, classic book.

I also really struggled, had to turn to google-check the first line

122 mahsdad : Just got #5. Someone above said it was a classic book. On a total whim... thinking of traveling, I thought of the only book with stories from lot of travelers. Think REALLY old, maybe not even in modern English.

155 EllaBella88 : If people are having trouble with #5, another hint in addition to this (Comment #122) is that the first line of the riddle is also part of the work's prologue - it's just worded slightly differently.

This one was hard. I would not have thought of that book for this clue.
