Nature

Here’s April

by Josephine Preston Peabody 1874–1922

From The Singing Leaves (1903)

Nature

Wearied one,
Rest a little in the sun.
Here is April come behind you
With a blessing on your head:
Rains unshed,
And her loving hands that blind you
While she queries, ‘Who am I?’
Of the darkened eye.
O, I heard the winter pass!
Came a sigh from waking grass
That should wake a daffodilly.
April, and up-rising now,—and every kind of lily!
