Accompaniment:
Lyrics
April, my April, come over the plain
Sandalled with amethyst, starry with rain
Dower me with winds that are silver and blue
Lilacs and shadows and fire of the dew
Bring me the thrush and the slim daffodil
April, my April, come over the hill
Dance with me, laugh with me, shimmer and sing
I am thy dreamer and thou art the Spring
Sunlight and moonlight are raiment for thee
April, my April come over the sea
Pan is thy piper and follows thee still
Up out of Arcady, over the hill
Starriest dancer of roses and rain
Bring me my far away sweetheart again
Laugh with her laughter, immortal and sweet
Look from her lashes and dance with her feet
Crowned with her grace that is haunting me still
April, my April, come over the hill
