GOOD AND EVIL, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: A wealth of stars in winter time
Last Line: Could I have left love's scorn unpondered?
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


A wealth of stars in Winter time
Brings frost severe and cold;
And Winter's coppers are no more
Than Autumn's wasted gold:
While Love herself, this very morning,
Scorned me without one word of warning.

Had I not seen a Bumble-bee
Stand on his head in clover;
Parting the folds with hairy legs,
For comfort under cover;
Had I not seen this Bee and wondered —
Could I have left Love's scorn unpondered?
