So, April, here thou art again,
   1
   
    
     With broidered skirts of sun-kissed rain—
    
    
    
    
       And June, with tresses shady;
    
    
    
    
     Thou hauntest all the sobering year,
   11
   
       With echoes of thy laughter;
    
     And life is nought till thou appear,
    
       And but remembrance after.
    
    
    
       Run o'er from floor to rafter,
    
    
    
       And makes it poor with laughter.
