Love like an April day beguiles
Love like an April day beguiles,
Each moment brings new changes;
From cold to heat, from frowns to smiles,
Capriciously he ranges.
Now he allures to mirth and joy,
And points to scenes of pleasure;
But, ere we reach them, the false boy
Bears off the promis'd treasure.
