April Music – Poem by S.J. Goldner
I’d like to spend
April, sitting on a hill,
with a mushroom for
a parasol and violets
for a frill. And the
wind for a violin, to
play spring tunes,
and the blossoms in
the treetops, for gay
balloons. I’d like to spend
April sitting on a
mound, watching for
the flowers to pop out
of the ground. With
their green silk stockings,
and new spring clothes,
trying to look taller
by dancing on their toes!
Our home grown literature can help us
welcome Spring with song and words of Hope
and New Life! Let these words stir us to welcome the Season,
as we awaited the Risen Lord coming forth from the darkenss of the tomb!
“The year’s at the spring,
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hill-side’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in his Heaven—
All’s right with the world!”
– Robert Browning, The Year’s at the Spring
