First Line: If it's weary work to live, / it will rest us to lie dead
Last Line: For all the sap of spring.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina

If it's weary work to live,
It will rest us to lie dead,
With a stone at the tired feet
And a stone at the tired head.

In the waxing April days
Half the world will stir and sing,
But half the world will slug and rot
For all the sap of spring.
