Answer
When
April
with
his
showers
sweet
with
fruit
The
drought
of
March
has
pierced
unto
the
root
And
bathed
each
vein
with
liquor
that
has
power
To
generate
therein
and
sire
the
flower
When
Zephyr
also
has
with
his
sweet
breath
Quickened
again
in
every
holt
and
heath
The
tender
shoots
and
buds
and
the
young
sun
Into
the
Ram
one
half
his
course
has
run
And
many
little
birds
make
melody
That
sleep
through
all
the
night
with
open
eye
So
Nature
pricks
them
on
to
ramp
and
rage
Then
do
folk
long
to
go
on
pilgrimage

So, I was expecting the actual Middle English, which I had to memorize in college and was hoping to test my memory. "Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote..." and so on.

It would be helpful to know that it's actually a translation and which translation is used, especially since this translation adds some words that aren't in the original.
