And the orchard-bloom is falling
Sweet as kisses on the mouth.In the dreamy vale of beeches

And the river’s orient reaches
Are the palest amethyst.Every limpid brook is singing
Of the lure of April days;
Every piney glen is ringing
With the maddest roundelays.Come and let us seek together
Springtime lore of daffodils,
Giving to the golden weather
Greeting on the sun-warm hills.” ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery -

Are the palest amethyst.Every limpid brook is singing
Of the lure of April days;
Every piney glen is ringing
With the maddest roundelays.Come and let us seek together
Springtime lore of daffodils,
Giving to the golden weather
Greeting on the sun-warm hills.” ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery - “While we may open the books of the past, we may but grant flying glances of the future, through the mist that veils it.” ~ Robert E. Howard
