April pride of woodland waysA
Of glad daysA
April bringing hope of primeB
To the young flowers that beneathC
Their bud sheathC
Are guarded in their tender timeB
-
April pride of fields that beD
Green and freeD
That in fashion glad and gayE
Stud with flowers red and blueF
Every hueF
Their jewelled spring arrayE
-
April pride of murmuringG
Winds of springG
That beneath the winnowed airH
Trap with subtle nets and sweetI
Flora s feetI
Flora s feet the fleet and fairH
-
April by thy hand caressedJ
From her breastJ
Nature scatters everywhereH
Handfuls of all sweet perfumesK
Buds and bloomsK
Making faint the earth and airH
-
April joy of the green hoursL
Clothes with flowersL
Over all her locks of goldM
My sweet Lady and her breastJ
With the blestJ
Birds of summer manifoldM
-
April with thy gracious wilesN
Like the smilesN
Smiles of Venus and thy breathO
Like her breath the Gods delightP
From their heightP
They take the happy air beneathC
-
It is thou that of thy graceQ
From their placeQ
In the far oft isles dost bringG
Swallows over earth and seaD
Glad to beD
Messengers of thee and SpringG
-
Daffodil and eglantineR
And woodbineR
Lily violet and roseS
Plentiful in April fairH
To the airH
Their pretty petals do uncloseS
-
Nightingales ye now may hearT
Piercing clearU
Singing in the deepest shadeV
Many and many a babbled noteW
Chime and floatW
Woodland music through the gladeV
-
April all to welcome theeD
Spring sets freeD
Ancient flames and with low breathO
Wakes the ashes grey and oldM
That the coldM
Chilled within our hearts to deathO
-
Thou beholdest in the warmX
Hours the swarmX
Of the thievish bees that fliesS
Evermore from bloom to bloomY
For perfumeY
Hid away in tiny thighsS
-
Her cool shadows May can boastZ
Fruits almostZ
Ripe and gifts of fertile dewF
Manna sweet and honey sweetI
That completeI
Her flower garland fresh and newF
-
Nay but I will give my praiseS
To these daysS
Named with the glad name of HerA2
That from out the foam o the seaD
Came to beD
Sudden light on earth and airH
