Here you will find the Poem [Month of] April of poet Hilaire Belloc

[Month of] April

The stranger warmth of the young sun obeying, 
Look! little beads of green begin to grow, 
And hidden flowers have dated their tops to show 
Where late such droughty dusts were rudely playing. 
It's not the month, but all the world's a-maying! 
Come then with me, I'll take you, for I know 
Where the first hedgethorns and white windflowers blow: 
We two alone,, that goes without the saying. 

The month has treacherous clouds and moves in fears. 
This April shames the month itself with smiles: 
In whose new eyes I know no heaven of tears, 
But still serene desire and between whiles, 
So great a look that even April's grace 
Makes only marvel at her only face.
