APRIL - AND DYING, by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH Poet's Biography
First Line: Green blood fresh pulsing through the trees
Last Line: For me is death.
Subject(s): Death; Dead, The

GREEN blood fresh pulsing through the trees,
Black buds, that sun and shower distend;
All other things begin anew,
But I must end.
Warm sunlight on faint-colored sward,
Warm fragrance in the breezes' breath;
For other things are heat and life,
For me is death.
