The Seasons of Her Year

| Email Poem

 I 

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 secretly 
 His lips have said! 

II 

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 pay 
 Alone--alone!
