April!<br/> With a mist of green on the trees—<br/> And a scent of the warm brown broken earth<br/> On every wandering breeze;<br/> What, though thou be changeful,<br/> Though thy gold turns to grey again,<br/> There's a robin out yonder singing,<br/> Singing in the rain.<br/></p> <p id="id00293">    April! April! April!<br/> 'Tis the Northland hath longed for thee,<br/> She hath gazed toward the South with aching eyes<br/> Full long and patiently.<br/> Come now—tell us, sweeting,<br/> Thou laggard so lovely and late,<br/> Dost know there's no joy like the joy that comes<br/> When hearts have learned to wait?<br/></p> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
