Analysis of Under The April Moon
Bliss William Carman 1861 (Fredericton, New Brunswick) – 1929 (New Canaan, Connecticut)
OH, well the world is dreaming
Under the April moon,
Her soul in love with beauty,
Her senses all a-swoon!
Pure hangs the silver crescent
Above the twilight wood,
And pure the silver music
Wakes from the marshy flood.
O Earth, with all thy transport,
How comes it life should seem
A shadow in the moonlight,
A murmur in a dream?
