April the Magician / Annette Wynne


April the Magician


Norman Rockwell (1894-1978),
The Magician, November 1919.
April has a wand of gold.
    To touch the trees; and then
They who were quite poor and old
    Grow young and rich again.

When April changes hill and tree,
    The birds rush back to you,
And grasses come again for me,
    And all the world grows new!

~~
Annette Wynne (1889-1952)
from For Days and Days: A year-round treasury of child verse, 1919
