Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 464
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 … The peach-trees were discouraged ; A scolding breeze did passThat tore the dainty petals off And tossed them on the grass.The orchard wore a mournful air; The bluebird would not stay;T was only April, after all, That made believe t was May!Mary K. Seeger.
