Ye days of April weatherA
Ye shadows that are castB
By the haunted hours beforeC
Come back come back my childhoodD
Thou art summon'd by a spellE
From the green leaves of the wild woodD
From beside the charmed wellE
For Red Riding Hood the darlingF
The flower of fairy loreC
The fields were cover'd overA
With colours as she wentG
Daisy buttercup and cloverA
Below her footsteps bentG
Summer shed its shining storeC
She was happy as she press'd themH
Beneath her little feetI
She pluck'd them and caress'd themH
They were so very sweetI
They had never seem'd so sweet beforeC
To Red Riding Hood the darlingF
The flower of fairy loreC
How the heart of childhood dancesJ
Upon a sunny dayK
It has its own romancesL
And a wide wide world have theyK
A world where phantasie is kingF
Made all of eager dreamingF
When once grown up and tallM
Now is the time for schemingF
Then we shall do them allM
Do such pleasant fancies springF
For Red Riding Hood the darlingF
The flower of fairy loreC
She seems like an ideal loveN
The poetry of childhood shownO
And yet loved with a real loveN
As if she were our ownO
A younger sister for the heartP
Like the woodland pheasantQ
Her hair is brown and brightR
And her smile is pleasantQ
With its rosy lightR
Never can the memory partP
With Red Riding Hood the darlingF
The flower of fairy loreC
Did the painter dreamingF
In a morning hourA
Catch the fairy seemingF
Of this fairy flowerA
Winning it with eager eyesS
From the old enchanted storiesT
Lingering with a long delightR
On the unforgotten gloriesT
Of the infant sightR
Giving us a sweet surpriseS
In Red Riding Hood the darlingF
The flower of fairy loreC
Too long in the meadow stayingF
Where the cowslip bendsU
With the buttercups delayingF
As with early friendsU
Did the little maiden stayK
Sorrowful the tale for usV
We too loiter mid life's flowersW
A little while so gloriousV
So soon lost in darker hoursW
All love lingering on their wayK
Like Red Riding Hood the darlingF
The flower of fairy loreC
