Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBCBCDEDE FDFDDFDFGCGC CHCHHCHCIJIKSHE wanders in the April woods | A |
That glisten with the fallen shower | B |
She leans her face against the buds | C |
She stops she stoops she plucks a flower | B |
She feels the ferment of the hour | B |
She broodeth when the ringdove broods | C |
The sun and flying clouds have power | B |
Upon her cheek and changing moods | C |
She cannot think she is alone | D |
As o er her senses warmly steal | E |
Floods of unrest she fears to own | D |
And almost dreads to feel | E |
- | |
Among the summer woodlands wide | F |
Anew she roams no more alone | D |
The joy she fear d is at her side | F |
Spring s blushing secret now is known | D |
The primrose and its mates have flown | D |
The thrush s ringing note hath died | F |
But glancing eye and glowing tone | D |
Fall on her from her god her guide | F |
She knows not asks not what the goal | G |
She only feels she moves towards bliss | C |
And yields her pure unquestioning soul | G |
To touch and fondling kiss | C |
- | |
And still she haunts those woodland ways | C |
Though all fond fancy finds there now | H |
To mind of spring or summer days | C |
Are sodden trunk and songless bough | H |
The past sits widow d on her brow | H |
Homeward she wends with wintry gaze | C |
To walls that house a hollow vow | H |
To hearth where love hath ceas d to blaze | C |
Watches the clammy twilight wane | I |
With grief too fix d for woe or tear | J |
And with her forehead gainst the pane | I |
Envies the dying year | K |
