NEAR THE END OF APRIL
NEAR the end of April,
On the verge of May --
And O my heart, the woods were dusk
At the close of day.
Half a word was spoken
Out of half a dream,
And God looked in my soul and saw
A dawn rise and gleam.
Near the end of April
Twenty Mays have met,
And half a word and half a dream
Remember and forget.
William Stanley Braithwaite
The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
Henry David Thoreau
The bands on hats traces back to the custom on knights wearing their lady loves' scarves around the helmet.
