APRIL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Half fearful, half in joy, with tearful eyes
Last Line: The golden glory of deep autumn's day.
Subject(s): April


Half fearful, half in joy, with tearful eyes
Thou comest little maiden, tender bride,
Timid but loving by the bridegroom's side,
Thy feet reluctant to the path that lies
Before thee under half enclouded skies;
Yet in thy heart emboldened to confide
In him who leads thee as thy constant guide
To the rich blooms of love's full paradise.

Cast out all maiden fear, thou little wife;
The way before thee broadens into light
And deepens into all the flower of May;
With thee is promise of the coming life,
The glowing hour of Summer's rounded height,
The golden glory of deep Autumn's day.
