Short Questions and Answers of An April Day
 An April Day
---Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

When the warm sun, that brings

Seed-time and harvest, has returned again, 'Tis sweet to visit the still wood, where springs The first flower of the plain.



I love the season well,

When forest glades are teeming with bright forms,

Nor dark and many-folded clouds foretell

The coming-on of storms.

 

From the earth's loosened mould

The sapling draws its sustenance, and thrive Though stricken to the heart with winter's cold, The drooping tree revives.



The softly-warbled song

Comes from the pleasant woods, and coloured wings Glance quick in the bright sun, that moves along

 The forest openings.



When the bright sunset fills

Its shadows in the hollows of the hill,

The silver woods with light, the green slope throws And wide the upland glows.
