My April Lady
Apr 12, 2017 18:47:50 #
When down the stair at morning
the sunbeams round her float
sweet rivulets of laughter are bubbling in her throat
the gladness of her greeting
is gold without alloy
and in the morning sunlight
I think her name is JOY
When in the evening twilight
the quiet book-room lies
we read the sad old ballads
while from her hidden eyes
the tears are falling,falling
that gave her heart relief
and in the evening twilight
I think her name is GRIEF
My little April lady
of sunshine and of showers
she weaves the old spring magic
and breaks my heart with flowers
but when her moods are ended
she nestles like a dove
then by the pain and the rapture
I know her name is LOVE
poem by Henry Van D**e
Van D**e was born on November 10th,1852--expired April 10th ,1933
he was quoted"I'm not an optimist,there is too much evil in this world,nor am I a pessimist,there is too much good in this world,and in GOD.So I am just a melorist,believing that
HE wills to make the world better,and trying to do my best to help"

Great poem Bob, for some reason I haven't come across this poet before. Did he write a lot of poetry? Never mind, I just checked, 121 poems and here is an interesting one by Van d**e:
The Empty Quatrain
A flawless cup: how delicate and fine
The flowing curve of every jewelled line!
Look, turn it up or down, 't is perfect still,--
But holds no drop of life's heart-warming wine
