APRIL, by                    
First Line: April's skies are jeweled
Last Line: April music all the year!
Subject(s): April


April's skies are jeweled,
April's suns are gold;
In my eager, upturned hands
Lovingly I hold
All the glint of April's days --
All the wonder of her ways!

Through my futile fingers
April's treasures pass --
Sifting, shifting, drifting to
The jacinth-'broidered grass --
All her blue and gold and rose,
All the wealth that April knows!

May will bring her festival,
June will bring her gems,
August, too, shall trail her robes
With firefly-spangled hems;
All the glories can't replace
April's kirtle wrought of lace!

Soon with footsteps fugitive
April will depart.
April, breathe your mysteries
Deep within my heart,
That my listening soul may hear
April music all the year!
