[Enter April.]
April.
Ha, ha! Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh, dear, Oh, dear, Oh, dear!
I am the saddest and the gladdest month of all the year!
I cry and cry and cry until my tears make little pools
Because upon my way I meet so many April Fools!
And then I laugh and laugh until my sunshine dries my tears,
Because though foolish April Fools those April Fools are dears!
For some are foolish flowers that get out of bed too soon,
Mistaking April’s laughter for the call of May or June;
