richard mitchley - an april day by henry wadsworth longfellow lyrics

Loading...

when the warm sun, that brings
seed+time and harvest, has returned again
‘t is sweet to visit the still wood, where springs
the first flower of the plain

i love the season well
when forest glades are teeming with bright forms
nor dark and many+folded clouds foretell
the coming+on of storms

from the earth’s loosened mould
the sapling draws its sustenance, and thrives;
though stricken to the heart with winter’s cold
the drooping tree revives

the softly+warbled song
comes from thе pleasant woods, and colored wings
glance quick in thе bright sun, that moves along
the forest openings

when the bright sunset fills
the silver woods with light, the green slope throws
its shadows in the hollows of the hills
and wide the upland glows

and when the eve is born
in the blue lake the sky, o’er+reaching far
is hollowed out and the moon dips her h+rn
and twinkles many a star
inverted in the tide
stand the gray rocks, and trembling shadows throw
and the fair trees look over, side by side
and see themselves below

sweet april! many a thought
is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed;
nor shall they fail, till, to its autumn brought
life’s golden fruit is shed
