Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG AHCH IJIJ| In April in April | A |
| My one love came along | B |
| And I ran the slope of my high hill | C |
| To follow a thread of song | B |
| - | |
| His eyes were hard as porphyry | D |
| With looking on cruel lands | E |
| His voice went slipping over me | D |
| Like terrible silver hands | E |
| - | |
| Together we trod the secret lane | F |
| And walked the muttering town | G |
| I wore my heart like a wet red stain | F |
| On the breast of a velvet gown | G |

| In April in April | A |
| My love went whistling by | H |
| And I stumbled here to my high hill | C |
| Along the way of a lie | H |
| - | |
| Now what should I do in this place | I |
| But sit and count the chimes | J |
| And splash cold water on my face | I |
| And spoil a page with rhymes | J |
