This is the Hour

This is the hour

Where April’s last shower

Has spilled its endearments to spring’s breathless bud

And this is the chapter

Where May’s buoyant laughter

Kisses the landscape in emerald flood

We sign our pardon

In bare feet and gardens

Instant forgiveness for winter’s long stay

For this is the hour

Of sunshine and flower

As April’s last shower slips up and away

It's as if May knew we were expecting the opposite of April's lingering showers! We have four days of sunshine in the forecast!
