April Is in the World Again

April is in the world again,
And all the world is filled with flowers–
Flowers for others, not for me!
For my one flower I cannot see,
Lost in the April showers.
 
I cannot wake her, though I sing,
And all the birds, for her dear sake,
Fill with their songs the wintry brake;
Ah! could they make her rise again,
What resurrection would be mine!
Is she too tired to help the sun
And all the little stars to shine?
