Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| Sweet April from out of the hidden place | A |
| Where you keep your green and gold | B |
| We pray thee to bring us a gift of grace | A |
| When the little leaves unfold | B |
| - | |
| Oh make us glad with the things that are young | C |
| Give our hearts the quickened thrills | D |
| That used to answer each robin that sung | C |
| In the days of daffodils | D |
| - | |
| For what is the worth of all that we gain | E |
| If we lose the old delight | F |
| That came in the time of sun and rain | E |
| When the whole round world seemed right | F |
| - | |
| It was then we gave as we went along | G |
| The faith that to day we keep | H |
| And those April days were for mirth and song | G |
| While the nights were made for sleep | H |
| - | |
| Yet though we follow with steps that are slow | I |
| The feet that dance and that run | J |
| We would still be friends with the winds that blow | I |
| And companions to the sun | J |
