First Line: The lake has many different gowns
Last Line: When april leads the sun to rest.
Subject(s): April; Lakes; Pools; Ponds
The lake has many different gowns
Of blue and green and golden bronze;
I like her satin one the best
When April leads the sun to rest.
In crepe de chine she is beguiling,
Dainty ruffles keep her smiling;
The little winds caress her breast
When April leads the sun to rest.
I had a long-remembered sorrow
That winter tried in vain to borrow,
But now it leaves the lake's far crest
When April leads the sun to rest.
