On an April apple bough
Language: English
Swing, little bird on the bended bough: Sing, and swing in the rain; The buds will burst and the blossoms blow, Like drift on drift of perfumes snow Over and over again. Hark! My heart to the swelling song; Hush, and ease thy pain; New love must rise From the love laid low, Breath and blossom, gleam and glow, Over and over again.
