MY APRIL
SWEETHEART, comes laughing April nowTo right the Winter's wrong;And back to the forsaken boughThe bluebird comes with song:And, rivals of the stars above,Stars in the grass you see;So, like your namesake, April, Love —My April, come to me!
She brings the blossom to the vine,A token fresh and new;She fills the crocus cup with wine,A pledge that she is true;She sends the sunshine after rain,A golden augury:Sweetheart, and must I plead in vain?My April, come to me!
descriptionPage 72
Oh, Winter lies upon my heartA dreariness and woe:It needs but your dear smile to startThe buds of hope to blow;It needs but your sweet lips to bringThe message that shall beLike April's own, all love and Spring:My April, come to me!
