First Line: Comes a sudden rush of music in a melting minor strain
Last Line: And the sting that every spring brings when there's twilight april rain!
Subject(s): Grief; Solitude; Sorrow; Sadness; Loneliness
Comes a sudden rush of music in a melting minor strain
And again I sense the sorcery of twilight April rain ...
All the loneliness and longing—all the heart hurt—all the tears—
All the burning moods and yearnings of the endless empty years
Twist into the silver tangles of a spangled mesh of dreams
As with brooding eyes I trace a face within its fitful gleams.
Comes a tuning, like the crooning of a thousand wind-kist trees.
Oh, my heart is nigh to swooning with love's fierce intensities!
Warm red lips and soft arms empty—hoping, groping in the dark,
And the quick tears burn my eyelids ... Cupid somehow missed his mark
And passed by—nor deigned to dicker—leaving grieving in his train
And the sting that every spring brings when there's twilight April rain!
