POETRY

• - APRIL.
Of all the months that
.fill the year,
Give April's month to me,
For Earth and•sky are then so filled
•
With sweet variety !
The pear tree blossom's shower of pearl,
The apple's rosier hue ;
As beautiful as woman's blush,
As evanescent too.
The purple light that, like a sigh,
Comes from the violet bed •
As there the perfumes of the 'East,
fled all their odours shed.
The wild briar rose, a fragrant cup
To hold the morning's tear ;
• -
The bird's eye like a sapphire star ;
The primrose pale like fear.
The balls that hang like drifted snow
Upon the Guelder rose ;
The woodbine's fairy trumpet where -
The Elf his war note blows.
On every bOugh there is a bud, „
In every bud a floWer ;
But scarcely bud or flower will last
Beyond the present hour.
Now cornea a shower-cloud o'er the sky,
Then all again sun-shine ;
Then clouds-again, but brightened with,.
The rainbow's Coloured line.' • •-
Ave, then, thiS is the month for me !
•I could not love a scene' -
Where the blue sky was always Lice,
The green earth always green.
