| |
| APRIL, April, | |
| Laugh thy girlish laughter; | |
| Then, the moment after, | |
| Weep thy girlish tears! | |
| April, that mine ears | 5 |
| Like a lover greetest, | |
| If I tell thee, sweetest, | |
| All my hopes and fears, | |
| April, April, | |
| Laugh thy golden laughter, | 10 |
| But, the moment after, | |
| Weep thy golden tears! | |
