An Anthology of Czechoslovak Literature/April
April
And God’s first rainbow o’er the countryside!
The sower lays the seed-cloth down
And trustfully
Paces the soil where he has sown.
Be never marred.
For its one statute is to burgeon and to thrive,
To thrive though storm and sleet befall,
Defying all.
And ancient wisdom, ancient ways they ponder o’er
And ancient weather-lore.
The Months (1919).
