POETRY.

SONG.

APRIL, April,

Laugh thy girlish laughter ; Then, the moment after, Weep thy girlish tears! April, that mine ears Like a lover greetest, If I tell thee, sweetest,. All my hopes and fears, April, April, Laugh thy golden laughter, But, the moment after, Weep thy golden tears !

WILLIAM WATSON..
