CARELESS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Spring gave me a friend, and a true,true love
Last Line: And none the worse am I.
Subject(s): Friendship - False Friends; Fair Weather Friends


SPRING gave me a friend, and a true, true love; --
The summer went caroling by,
And the autumn brown'd, and the winter frown'd,
And I sat me down to sigh:
My friend was false for the sake of gold,
Ere the farmer stack'd his rye;
And my true love changed with the fickle west wind,
Ere winter dull'd the sky;
But the bees are humming -- a new spring's coming,
And none the worse am I.
