Poesy

The Seasons of Her Year

Winter is white on turf and tree,And birds are fled;But summer songsters pipe to me,And petals spread,For what I dreamt of secretlyHis lips have said!

O ’tis a fine May morn, they say,And blooms have blown;But wild and wintry is my day,My birds make moan;For he who vowed leaves me to payAlone⁠—alone!
