First Line: I did not think in that fair spring
Last Line: Love was a game, and I have lost.
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


I did not think in that fair spring
That I would count the heavy cost
Of love that for the moment meant
No anxious shadows, flecked and crossed,
Nor endless vistas, long and lone.

I did not think the winter's frost
Would clothe in stark and deadly white
The heart that once so gaily tossed
Its joy along the rainbow paths, --
Love was a game, and I have lost.
