The sunbeams round her float | B |

My little April lady | I |
Of sunshine and of showers | J |
She weaves the old spring magic | K |
And breaks my heart in flowers | J |
But when her moods are ended | L |
She nestles like a dove | M |
Then by the pain and rapture | C |
I know her name is Love | M |
