APRIL by SALLY BRUCE KINSOLVING

First Line: I'LL TAKE MY FILL OF APRIL
Last Line: ACROSS THE HEART OF SPRING.
Subject(s): APRIL; SPRING;

I'll take my fill of April
While spring comes up the year,
And watch her young leaves tremble
In air that's April clear.

I'll go afar for wind-flowers
That climb a rocky steep --
For bloodroot and hepatics
And violets in a heap.

I'll watch the buds of judas-trees
Lie like a wounded thing
In bleeding purple ecstasies
Across the heart of spring.
