AN APRIL GHOST

AN APRIL GHOST

All the ghosts I ever knew,White, and thinly calling,Come into the house with you,When the dew is falling.All of youth that ever died,In the Spring-time weather,In the windy April tide,Climb the dusk together.For a moment, lad and maidStand up there all lonely;In a moment fade and fade—You are left, you only.Lizette Woodworth Reese

All the ghosts I ever knew,

White, and thinly calling,

Come into the house with you,

When the dew is falling.

All of youth that ever died,In the Spring-time weather,In the windy April tide,Climb the dusk together.

All of youth that ever died,

In the Spring-time weather,

In the windy April tide,

Climb the dusk together.

For a moment, lad and maidStand up there all lonely;In a moment fade and fade—You are left, you only.

For a moment, lad and maid

Stand up there all lonely;

In a moment fade and fade—

You are left, you only.
