O darling April!
How I love your soft blue skies,
Your high, feathery clouds,
Your pastel landscape
Of subtle greens and browns,
The ponds shimmering
With sunlight’s laughter!

But how these dark, heavy clouds,
So low, and weeping rain?
Alas, there is a rain
That dwells in the clouds of the mind,
Even in April’s warm and golden climes.

'O darling April!

Your pastel landscape

With sunlight’s laughter!'


This is a lovely write~
I welcome the April rain on the garden~
This is the season of renewal~
