JUNE by AMY LEVY

First Line: LAST JUNE I SAW YOUR FACE THREE TIMES
Last Line: UPON YOUR FACE AGAIN.

LAST June I saw your face three times ;
Three times I touched your hand ;
Now, as before, May month is o'er,
And June is in the land.

O many Junes shall come and go,
Flow'r-footed o'er the mead ;
O many Junes for me, to whom
Is length of days decreed.

There shall be sunlight, scent of rose ;
Warm mist of summer rain ;
Only this change -- I shall not look
Upon your face again.
