A RESEMBLANCE

As Orpheus flower and fern
Called to his knees,
And by delicious tones
Ravished the trees,
Forcing the oaks and poplars high,
Lissom as maids, to change their sky;
So April's lovelier voice
Calls to the birds.
Hearing delicious tones,
Ravishing words,
Pipits with tiny cousins fly,
Nimble as dreams, to change their sky.
