Rensselaer Republican, Volume 20, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 April 1888 — APRIL. [ARTICLE]

APRIL.

April Is here! ' / There’s a song In the maple, thrilling and new; There’s a flash of wings of the heavens' own hue; There's a veil of green on the nearer hills; There's a buret of rapture in woodland rills; There are stars in the meadow dropped here and there; Tbere’a a breath of arbutus in the air; There’s a dash of rain, as if flung in Jest; There's an arch of color spanning the west; April la here! 4 "• —Emma C. Dowd, Bt. Nicholas.
