APRIL, April, | |
Laugh thy girlish laughter; | |
Then, the moment after, | |
Weep thy girlish tears! | |
April, that mine ears | 5 |
Like a lover greetest, | |
If I tell thee, sweetest, | |
All my hopes and fears, | |
April, April, | |
Laugh thy golden laughter, | 10 |
But, the moment after, | |
Weep thy golden tears! |
