Why Flowers Bid Farewell In February

CXXVI

The time of life, that's not quite summer yet
Why flowers bid farewell late February
A seemingly unnecessary death
But fair to grace his holy sanctuary

It may perhaps thy dwelling's worth had lapse
For days filled with much toil prevailed at last
Thy cherished memories failed to find the gaps
And yet all these thy love could not surpass

The kind and gracious hand who knows what's best
That shook a tree fell fruit that seem unripe
Pale lips unbreathe thy weary soul to rest
Will usher into blissful, endless life

Did 'ere such love could flow from orphaned tears?
Will spring to joy that lasts ten thousand years

For Norma. My dear wife's mom, and mine too. She is most horribly missed...
