First Line: April bows her head and weeps
Last Line: Though april he's bereaving.
Subject(s): April
April bows her head and weeps,
Winter lies a-dying;
There's none else to vigil keep,
In pity April's crying.
April lifts her head and smiles,
Spring has come a-wooing;
Soon Miss April he beguiles,
Much to her undoing.
April's tears are flowing fast,
Fickle Spring's a-leaving,
Spied young May and hied away,
Though April he's bereaving.
