Between Now and Next Spring

The bell sounds like a glass tapped with a spoon
as soon a wind comes by to tickle chimes new tune

Then swirls to pat against my cheek chilled in playful gile
a song of harmony that rustles trees emerald drape pile

To fill my basket takes a summer witches warming spell
by fall the fruits of spring are newly reaped in fullness well

Lost leaves repeat their yearly teardrop curtain fall
in blended rhythms cry departing hues of autumns call

And tolls the sound of death on sodden grounding groove
when next the blanket worn is white like satin laying smooth

We sleep till spring does rouse the trees to greening laugh
as raindrops splash against my cheeks in seasons annual bath

I live today in seasons birth and quickly ere they drift away
Between this one and next to come I fill my seasonal bouquet

Your couplet has built herself into such a gorgeous personification poem about all four seasons. I was going to highlight all of my favorite parts but that would be the entire poem so I have simply faved it.
