AFTER LOVE, by                    
First Line: You used to laugh at me and say
Last Line: A ghost in april rain.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of


You used to laugh at me and say
I ran to meet the Spring,
And that I went quite mad the day
Wild plums were blossoming.

But never again will I foolishly be
So bold. I sit and wait,
Half hoping Spring will never see
My little picket gate.

For I am sure I must not dare
To meet her in the lane,
Lest I should stumble on you there,
A ghost in April rain.
