Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 463
FOOLING A robin lilted on the lawn, A bluebird in the tree;The world was set to music, And reeled with melody.The orchard seemed a rosy cloud; The hedge-row dreamed t was May;The peach-trees blushed—they were so proud That happy, happy day. … A violet untied its hood— Its blue was like the sky.The arbutus peeped from its snood, And tossed its blanket by.Anemones poked up their heads, As they were pleased to say: We ve put our pretty kirtles on— T is such a lovely day! APRIL FOOLING. 451
