Harriet Monroe - April -- North CarolinaHarriet Monroe - April -- North Carolina
Work rating: Medium


Would you not be in Tryon   Now that the spring is here, When mocking-birds are praising   The fresh, the blossomy year? Look — on the leafy carpet   Woven of winter`s browns Iris and pink azaleas   Flutter their gaudy gowns. The dogwood spreads white meshes —   So white and light and high — To catch the drifting sunlight   Out of the cobalt sky. The pointed beech and maple,   The pines, dark-tufted, tall, Pattern with many colors   The mountain`s purple wall. Hark — what a rushing torrent   Of crystal song falls sheer! Would you not be in Tryon   Now that the spring is here?
