heart I feel that certain string
that makes me know forgetting you
must wait can recall each

way you had of dancing down the
street. The way the town went
magical before-the bitter came to
steal away the sweet So for a
spell I'll muse on you again-and
wonder as a lad must ever do
II you have felt the bite and lash
OF rain -. Or If the gods have done
their best for you And may you
know as April weaves its spell. How
one lost lad will always wish you
