In April.
In April birds are singing,
In many budding tree,
And tender blades are springing
On every sunny lea;
And crystal streams are flowing
Through many a narrow dale,
While southern winds are blowing
Across the greening vale.
The warm snnbeams are kissiag
The many sleeping fiow'rs,
And heavy clouds dismissing,
As they drop sudden showers.
Arbutus buds are blooming
Beside the woodland ways,
And busy bees are roaming
Our fields on pleasant days.
