Oh, to be in England now that April's there

Mañana empieza el mes de abril, tiempo ideal para visitar Inglaterra, como nos recuerdan estos preciosos versos de Robert Browning (1812-1889):

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 orchard bough In England - now! 
And after April, when May follows, 
And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows - 
Hark! where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedge 
Leans to the field and scatters on the clover 
Blossoms and dewdrops - at the bent spray’s edge - 
That’s the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, 
Lest you should think he never could recapture 
The first fine careless rapture! 
And though the fields look rough with hoary dew, 
All will be gay when noontide wakes anew 
The buttercups, the little children’s dower, 
- Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!
