First Line: O beauteous april, whom too often choral
Last Line: Month, to such bitter bloom as once you bore.
Subject(s): April; Love - Unrequited; Spring
O beauteous April, whom too often choral
Raptures accompany with faded praise,
You were foresworn by me long since -- Your floral
Bewitchments do not snare my nights and days.
This faint diminished singing springs unwanted
Alas, most subtle season, through what art?
Is it an ancient echo comes undaunted?
Is it the plaining of a broken heart?
And yet that heart, I know, is finely metaled
Over with peace and pride; the sealed bright core
Will not be twice unfolded, O false-petaled
Month, to such bitter bloom as once you bore.
