First Line: If I were gusty april now
Last Line: To play with laughing rose.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
IF I were gusty April now,
How I would blow at laughing Rose;
I'd make her ribbons slip their knots,
And all her hair come loose.
If I were merry April now,
How I would pelt her cheeks with showers;
I'd make carnations, rich and warm,
Of her vermilion flowers.
Since she will laugh in April's face,
No matter how he rains or blows --
Then O that I wild April were,
To play with laughing Rose.
