APRIL'S DREAM by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

First Line: THE STREAM'S BREATH TASTES OF THE WOOD'S PERFUME
Last Line: FORTH, INTO APRIL'S DREAM.
Subject(s): APRIL;
THE stream's breath tastes of the wood's perfume,
Filled are the woods with foam:
And the sea like a sheet 'neath the summer noon,
With the languorous swerve runs home.
The beat of a pulse the warm sun stirs
In the air, the sea and stream,
Beckons the heart- and the soul allures
Forth, into April's dream.
