SONNET.
[A Morn of April!—lovely in all things]
A Morn of April!—lovely in all things,As in the Sun that o'er the horizon gleams!—
A sweet morn, made for visions and for dreams;
Day, like a Bird of Paradise, his wings
Outstretches, and o'er all his Beauty flings
A changeful beauty, crowning woods and streams.
Lo! showers and sunshine, rainbows, clouds, and beams!—
While from each change a world of witchery springs.
Our hearts, thy restless destiny fulfil!—
Dear Month! thou'rt like to our own Human Heart—
And all that there awakeneth—altering still!—
Yet, oh!—not half so variable thou art!
It hath the keener sense,—the livelier skill,
And through thy changes in One Hour can dart!
