THE CACTUS candelabra

Are lit with yellow flowers:

Oh, take my jocund mornings,

My glancing April hours!

Do you not know the desert

Is slow to bloom again?—

The trail is long to April,

Across an arid plain;

And it is but a moment—

The time of cactus flowers.

Before the dusty journey,

Come share my April hours!
