April magic
April snows, and April blows,
it also shines and showers.
April is nature’s opening act
for spring’s big show of flowers.
April sprays her magic-rinse
upon the still cold ground,
to start the splendor in the
grass
and the greening all around.
April’s not the cruelest month,
no matter what they say,
it washes winter’s sullen face
to reveal the smiles of May.
William Bedford
