An April Ghost

Lizette Woodworth Reese

ALL the ghosts I ever knew,

White, and thinly calling,

Come into the house with you,

When the dew is falling.

All of youth that ever died,

In the Spring-time weather,

In the windy April tide,

Climb the dusk together.

For a moment, lad and maid

Stand up there all lonely;

In a moment fade and fade—

You are left, you only.
