APRILIAN RHAPSODY

 STRAIGHT in the heart of the April meadows, Straight in the dream in the heart of you; Deep in the glory of gleams and shadows, Flame and gossamer, green and blue — 

 Out of the nowhere east from yonder, Out of the presences felt and seen, Filled with the first unremember'd wonder, Radiant with the memory of last year's green —  

 Straight in the heart of the April meadows, Straight in the dream in the heart of you — Spring —in the glory of gleams and shadows, Flame and gossamer, green and blue!
