852. Song

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!
