"Oh, to be in England / Now that April's there, / And whoever wakes in England / Sees, some morning, unaware, / That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf / Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, / While the chaffinch sings on the fruit-tree bough / In England - now! / (Only we are in June 14 '35)"<
