April Snow . .When April comes with starry eyes, Fair'tresses in the laughing breeze. Our hearts rejoice -in sunny skies, In singing birds, and budding trees. We long for wakening hyacinths, 'For violets on wooded hill, And crocuses that ventureforth, ..To greet the nodding daffodil. • But. come the days of muddy hoots, -Of garden fence all sagging down, Old grass.•.new mud, in' ditch and field. All patterned in a dirty brown. And suddenly our thoughts return, To ring of voices on the ice,- ' ' To gleaming trail on mountain -side That was the skier's paradise. - To jingle hells On frosty nights, Snow drifts piled high and clean; The twinkling. of the .christtnas • • ,lights, And spirits gaily keen. Then. April graciously retracts, • To let the shimmering whitens! fall; And hearts admit to being glad, That Winter took his curtaincall.
