THE Spring was late in coming, so,
Sweet bird, your songs are late:
Have you a certain number, then,
Of verses to create?
If late to start means late to end,
You comfort me, sweet friend.

It was the summer of my life
Ere I began to sing:
Will winter be my summer, then,
As summer was my spring?
No matter how things change their hue,
We'll sing our number through.
