The Girl With April in Her Eyes

<br>There once was a king, who called for the spring,<br><br>For his world was still covered with snow,<br><br>But the spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean,<br><br>In his winter fields nothing would grow;<br><br>And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door,<br><br>Only food and a bed for a night,<br><br>He ordered his slave to turn her away,<br><br>The girl with april in her eyes...<br><br><br><br>Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,<br><br>Through the winters night, the wild wind and the snow,<br><br>Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides,<br><br>Someone help the girl with april in her eyes...<br><br><br><br>She rode through the night till she came to the light,<br><br>Of a humble mans home in the woods,<br><br>He brought her inside, by the firelight she died,<br><br>And he buried her gently and good;<br><br>Oh the morning was bright, all the world snow-white,<br><br>But when he came to the place where she lay,<br><br>His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave,<br><br>Of the girl with april in her eyes...<br><br><br><br>Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,<br><br>Through the winters night, the wild wind and the snow,<br><br>Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies,<br><br>She is gone, the girl with april in her eyes...
