April


Oh, month that comes with rainbows crowned, And golden shadows dressed— Constant to her inconstancy, And faithful to unrest. Alice Cary.—April.	1
Now the noisy winds are still; April’s coming up the hill; All the spring is in her train, Led by shining ranks of rain; Pit, pat, patter, clatter, Sudden sun, and clatter, patter First the blue, and then the shower, Bursting bud, and smiling flower; Brooks set free with tinkling ring; Birds too full of song to sing; Crisp old leaves astir with pride, Where the timid violets hide— All things ready with a will— April’s coming up the hill! Mary Mapes Dodge.—Not the Noisy Winds are Still.	2
April cold with dropping rain, Willows and lilacs brings again, The whistle of returning birds, And trumpet-lowing of the herds. Emerson.—Poems: May-day.	3
