MADRIGAL by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: APRIL EYES, APRIL EYES / ALIGHT WITH LAUGHTER
Last Line: LOVE IS A ROVER.
Subject(s): APRIL; EYES; LAUGHTER; LOVE; PAIN; PLEASURE; SUFFERING; MISERY;

APRIL eyes, April eyes,
Alight with laughter,
Where is the lucky swain
Who in those blue orbs twain
May read the answer plain
He would be after?

April eyes, April eyes,
Fast brimming over,
Will he not come again?
Ah, after blue skies rain,
After brief pleasure pain;
Love is a rover.
