Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Masks
When I complained of April's day,
Her silent birds, her absent Sun;
And how her mist but added tears
Unto the dew's, that had not gone --
Young April heard and, suddenly,
Came leaping from her strange disguise;
Off came her dark-November mask,
And showed the world her laughing eyes.
