SHE wanders in the April woodsA
That glisten with the fallen showerB
She leans her face against the budsC
She stops she stoops she plucks a flowerB
She feels the ferment of the hourB
She broodeth when the ringdove broodsC
The sun and flying clouds have powerB
Upon her cheek and changing moodsC
She cannot think she is aloneD
As o er her senses warmly stealE
Floods of unrest she fears to ownD
And almost dreads to feelE
-
Among the summer woodlands wideF
Anew she roams no more aloneD
The joy she fear d is at her sideF
Spring s blushing secret now is knownD
The primrose and its mates have flownD
The thrush s ringing note hath diedF
But glancing eye and glowing toneD
Fall on her from her god her guideF
She knows not asks not what the goalG
She only feels she moves towards blissC
And yields her pure unquestioning soulG
To touch and fondling kissC
-
And still she haunts those woodland waysC
Though all fond fancy finds there nowH
To mind of spring or summer daysC
Are sodden trunk and songless boughH
The past sits widow d on her browH
Homeward she wends with wintry gazeC
To walls that house a hollow vowH
To hearth where love hath ceas d to blazeC
Watches the clammy twilight waneI
With grief too fix d for woe or tearJ
And with her forehead gainst the paneI
Envies the dying yearK
