Between April and May

F. Hart

Between April and May

No more can pass

Than the edge of a mist

Or a sidelong ray

From the mopn or the glass

Where the little moons hide

To shew me your wrist

On whiteness and nothing beside.

The night is still,

The darkness knows

How far away

A wavering rill

Of warm air goes;

Though no bough hums,

Between April and May

A streak of plum-blossom comes.
