Author Description

Excerpt from Seeds of April's Sowing When groves are green and hedges sprout, And yellow buttercups laugh in the lane, When the dandelion Shakes its soft plumes out, And fields are aglint with the gold of grain; When cowslips drift in an amber rain, And yellow's the Silk of the tasseled corn, 0, who has the hardihood then to complain That green's forsaken and yellow's forsworn? When Spring awakes in a joyful rout, Daffodil, primrose, a gladsome train, When the jonquil scatters its gems about And marigolds weave a glowing chain; When pansies shine on the lawns again And tulips nod in the fragrant morn, 0, who will subscribe to the old-time strain That green's forsaken and yellow's forsworn?
