Subject(s): Absence; Loss; Separation; Isolation
The fall you went away --
With snowflakes in the air
And dead leaves on the ground, --
I thought you would return
Before the frozen streams
Began to flow again.
Until the snow was gone
And pussywillows soft
Appeared, I thought you'd come.
But when some bird calls out
To find its mate in spring,
I know you'll not return.
