First lines

April this year, not otherwise

Than April of a year ago,

Is full of whispers, full of sighs, / Of dazzling mud and dingy snow; / Hepaticas that pleased you so / Are here again, and butterflies.

There rings a hammering all day, / And shingles lie about the doors; / In orchards near and far away / The grey wood-pecker taps and bores; / The men are merry at their chores, / And children earnest at their play.
