Explore "Song Inviting the Influence of a Young Lady Upon the Opening Year" by Hilaire Belloc on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I. You wear the morning like your dress / And are with mastery crowned; / Whenas you walk your loveliness / Goes shining all around.
Upon your secret, smiling way / Such new contents were found, / The Dancing Loves made holiday / On that delightful ground.
II. Then summon April forth, and send / Commandment through the flowers; / About our woods your grace extend / A queen of careless hours.
For oh, not Vera veiled in rain, / Nor Dian's sacred Ring, / With all her royal nymphs in train / Could so lead on the Spring.
