Is it April, these gray days
Wrapped in fog and fringed with rain?
All is lost in misty haze
Just beyond my window-pane.
The willows droop—dim, shadowy, gray,
And all my hills are hidden away.
Silvery threads of rain slip down
Slant-wise through the fragrant air,
Wisps of fog the maples crown,
Clinging, wraithlike, everywhere.
Gone the days of gold and blue,
April! April! Is this you?
