EARLY EVENING IN APRIL by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: A DRIFT OF FRAGRANCE DOWN A LANE OF SPRING
Last Line: WISTFUL AND DELICATE AND DEBONAIR.
Subject(s): APRIL; EVENING; MOUNTAINS; TREES; SUNSET; TWILIGHT; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN);
ADRIFT of fragrance down a lane of spring;
Peach trees and pear trees spill their pink and white;
The lavender mountains loom, and mutely fling
Bold arms to clasp and quell the sunset light, --
An April spirit haunts the evening air,
Wistful and delicate and debonair.
