Short space shall be hereafterA
Ere April brings the hourA
Of weeping and of laughterA
Of sunshine and of showerA
Of groaning and of gladnessB
Of singing and of sadnessB
Of melody and madnessB
Of all sweet things and sourA
-
Sweet to the blithe bucolicC
Who knows nor cribs nor cramsB
Who sees the frisky frolicC
Of lanky little lambsB
But sour beyond expressionD
To one in deep depressionD
Who sees the closing sessionD
And imminent examsB
-
He cannot hear the singingE
Of birds upon the bentsB
Nor watch the wildflowers springingE
Nor smell the April scentsB
He gathers grief with grindingE
Foul food of sorrow findingE
In books of dreary bindingE
And drearier contentsB
-
One hope alone sustains himF
And no more hopes besideG
One trust alone restrains himF
From shocking suicideG
He will not play nor palterA
With hemlock or with halterA
He will not fear nor falterA
Whatever chance betideG
-
He knows examinationsB
Like all things else have endsB
And then come vast vacationsB
And visits to his friendsB
And youth with pleasure yokingE
And joyfulness and jokingE
And smilingness and smokingE
For grief to make amendsB
