I can't tell you -- but you feel it --
Nor can you tell me --
Saints, with ravished slate¹ and pencil
Solve our April Day!

Sweeter than a vanished frolic
From a vanished green!
Swifter than the hoofs² of Horsemen
Round a Ledge³ of dream!

Modest, let us walk among it
With our faces veiled --
As they say polite Archangels
Do in meeting God!

Not for me -- to prate⁴ about it!
Not for you -- to say
To some fashionable Lady
"Charming April Day"!

Rather -- Heaven's "Peter Parley⁵"!
By which Children slow
To sublimer⁶ Recitation
Are prepared to go!
