IN SPRING

April's sweet upon the hill,
Streamlets, full with rainy fee,
Flow in silvery adventure
Out to sea.
Cherry is the hedge's bride,
Marriages are made by sun;
Here's a downy habitation
Just begun!
Love, when thou hast come to seek
In my sweetheart's side for rest,
Wake for me a Spring as fragrant
In her breast!
