April / H. Cordelia Ray

April

She trips across the meadows,
    The weird capricious elf!
The buds unfold their perfumed cups
    For love of her sweet self;
And silver-throated birds begin to tune their lyres,
While wind-harps lend their strans to Nature's magic choirs.

~~
H. Cordelia Ray (1852-1916)
from Poems, 1910
