SUMMER FROSTS by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER

Poet Analysis

First Line: FROSTS OF AN HOUR! FRUITS OF A SEASON!
Last Line: HE WITH THE PANGS OF A PASSIONATE HEART.

Frosts of an hour! Fruits of a season!
Who foresees them? Slain in a day,
The loves of a lustrum. Who shall say
The heart has sense or the soul has reason?
. . . One not knowing and one not caring.
. . . Leaves in their pathway. Let them part;
She with the gifts of a gracious bearing,
He with the pangs of a passionate heart.
