Reed Call For April.

Topics: classic

I.     When April comes, and pelts with buds     And apple-blooms each orchard space,     And takes the dog-wood-whitened woods     With rain and sunshine of her moods,     Like your fair face, like your fair face:     It's honey for the bloom and dew,     And honey for the heart!     And, oh, to be away with you     Beyond the town and mart. II.     When April comes, and tints the hills     With gold and beryl that rejoice,     And from her airy apron spills     The laughter of the winds and rills,     Like your young voice, like your young voice:     It's gladness for God's bending blue,     And gladness for the heart!     And, oh, to be away with you     Beyond the town and mart. III.     When April comes, and binds and girds     The world with warmth that breathes above,     And to the breeze flings all her birds,     Whose songs are welcome as the words     Of you I love, of you I love:     It's music for all things that woo,     And music for the heart!     And, oh, to be away with you     Beyond the town and mart.
