An April Valentine

Be my April of sweet showers, and
       pierce my March’s drought,
be my April of the cruelest month, and
       breed lilacs out of my dead land;

be my April of the recurring beauty, and
       babble and strew flowers –
you are Gaia’s beauty
and that’s purpose enough.

A diamond or a daisy,
I want to be yours;
especially as a Fool,
I want to be yours.

Be my April –
won’t you please be mine?
