An April Ghost

by (1856–1935)

Listen in the reader

All the ghosts I ever knew, White, and thinly calling, Come into the house with you, When the dew is falling.

All of youth that ever died, In the Spring-time weather, In the windy April tide, Climb the dusk together.

For a moment, lad and maid Stand up there all lonely; In a moment fade and fade— You are left, you only.
