THE APRIL OF THE AGES by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN

First Line: BEAUTIFUL, OH BEAUTIFUL
Last Line: IN EVER-DEWY PAGES.
Subject(s): APRIL;
BEAUTIFUL, oh beautiful --
In all the mountain passes
The plenteous dowers of April showers,
Which every spring amasses,
To bring about thro' summer drought
The blossoming of the grasses.

Beautiful, oh beautiful --
The April of the ages,
Which sweetly brought its showers of thought
To poets and to sages,
Now stored away our thirst to stay
In ever-dewy pages.
