April rains are shod with silver
Quick and flashing when they fall
In a tempo gay and dashing,
Like mad dancers at a ball.
April rains are wild and wanton,
Flinging all their riches down
With a reckless, bright abandon,
Like a spendthrift girl in town.
April rains are silver-skirted,
Wrapped in filmy veils of mist,
Like the fragile harem beauties
That the sun has never kissed.
Silver-slippered rains of April,
Where you dance, the grasses creep,
And your whirling, tripping revels
Wake the crocuses from sleep.
