APRIL, by THOMAS AUGUSTINE DALY First Line: Here comes april! Filmy-fair Last Line: Self-determination. Alternate Author Name(s): Daly, T. A. Subject(s): April | |||
HERE comes April! filmy-fair, Green of cap and kirtle, Silver dew-drops in her hair And a sprig of myrtle. Here comes April up the land, Irish as Killarney, Subject to no man's command, Proof against his blarney. Smiles or tears she wears at will; Often she's "desateful," But what gifts she's pleased to spill Take them and be grateful! No directing mortal hands Touch this quaint equation; She is Irish, and demands Self-determination. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESSAY ON STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH APRIL NOT AN INVENTORY BUT A BLIZZARD by ALICE NOTLEY APRIL ONE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS MEMORY OF APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APRIL MORTALITY by LEONIE ADAMS APRIL, 1885 by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES A DIXIE LULLABY by THOMAS AUGUSTINE DALY |
