The April lady

H. Bland

The April lady's come to town,

Drest in her fine array,

And if you wander in the Park

You'll find her there to-day.

Gown all of gossamer,

Oh, so fair to see,

She's come straight from Rainbow-land,

With gifts for you and me.

The April lady smiles to see

The children all at play,

She scatters blossoms on the ground

To please them every day.

Gown all of, etc.

The April lady's come to town,

I met her yesterday;

But oh! it grieves my heart to think

How short will be her stay!

Gown all of, etc.
