AN APRIL SEQUENCE: 5., by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Why grieve to see the light in air
Last Line: Arise, and shout with may!
Subject(s): April; Flowers; Spring


Why grieve to see the light in air,
Or sigh, of April fain?
White orchards all afoam with stars
Shall flower the dreaming plain.

For spring comes white with morning,
And laughs the clouds away.
Why grieve that April flame is fled?
Arise, and shout with May!
