A poem a day
Starting this thread to present a great poem everyday for any readers that care to follow .
Today I am presenting one by a great poet I recently discovered that to me was a poetic genius.
I will present works by many other poets so keep reading and checking if you care at all to read poetry.
I will not in this thread present any of my compositions as this thread is to be reserved for presenting the works of great poets only.-Tyr

My Lady April
DEW on her robe and on her tangled hair;
Twin dewdrops for her eyes; behold her pass,
With dainty step brushing the young, green grass,
The while she trills some high, fantastic air,
Full of all feathered sweetness: she is fair,
And all her flower-like beauty, as a glass,
Mirrors out hope and love: and still, alas!
Traces of tears her languid lashes wear.
Say, doth she weep for very wantonness?
Or is it that she dimly doth foresee
Across her youth the joys grow less and less
The burden of the days that are to be:
Autumn and withered leaves and vanity,
And winter bringing end in barrenness.
