APRIL'S LAMBS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOUGH I WAS BORN IN APRIL'S PRIME
Last Line: "AS TENDERLY AS ANY LAMB'S."
Subject(s): APRIL;

"THOUGH I was born in April's prime,
With many another lamb,
Yet, thinking now of all my years,
What am I but a tough old ram?"

"No woman thinks of years," said she,
"Or any tough old rams,
When she can hear a voice that bleats
As tenderly as any lamb's."
