I HAVE not seen the Spring this year
Run like a flame along the hill:
Only the winds move, slow as fear;
The small, bright birds are still.
Perhaps the Spring has loosed her hand,
Let fall mayflowers and jonquils after, --
Scorning to fling her buds among
Such as have not a song,
Scorning to give, as other years,
Her daffodils for tears,
And bitterly in that gray land
Weeps her lost laughter.
Perhaps -- a sword in her white side
And withered violets on her head --
For all the lovers who have died
Young Spring lies dead.
