English poem
April
by Oliver Herford (1863–1935)
Lady April, it is clear, Is the spoilt child of the Year. See her tears about to start-- Thus she melts old Winter's heart. Now the gay deceiving thing Turns and plays the deuce with Spring. Winter lingers at her gate; Spring grows chilly and irate. I'd go home if I were he-- It is just such girls as she Make a fellow thank his stars For the solace of cigars.
