AN APRIL SEQUENCE: 3. by EDWARD JOSEPH HARRINGTON O'BRIEN

First Line: THAT SKYLARK CURVING TOWARD THE SOUTH
Last Line: CRADLES FLOWERS IN THEIR SLEEP.
Subject(s): APRIL; FLOWERS;

That skylark curving toward the south
And circling idly up the wind,
Unmindful of the winter's way,
Leaves melody behind.

Proclaiming through his arch of gold
From heaven high to earth's deep,
The wind that blows the stars to flame
Cradles flowers in their sleep.
