THE DAY BEFORE APRIL
The day before April
Alone, alone,
I walked in the woods
And I sat on a stone.
I sat on a broad stone
And sang to the birds.
The tune was God’s making
But I made the words.

Measure Me Sky
Measure me, sky!
Tell me I reach by a song
Nearer the stars;
I have been little so long.
Weigh me, high wind!
What will your wild scales record?
Profit of pain,
Joy by the weight of a word.
Heaven, reach out!
Catch at my hands, stretch me taunt.
Rim of the world:
Widen my eyes by a thought.
Sky, be my depth.
Wind, be my width and my height,
World, my heart’s span;
Loveliness, wings for my flight.
LEONORA SPEYER.
