Poet Analysis

First Line: THE YEAR'S A LITTLE OLDER GROWN
Last Line: YET WHO CAN BRING THE MAY AGAIN?
Subject(s): TIME;
THE year's a little older grown;
And fair white boughs by green ways blown
In these new days are no more known.
(Oh, who can bring the May again?)
And we are wiser grown, we two.
Our story's told; each word was true;
And you love me, and I love you.
(Oh, who can bring the May again?)
Was it not sweeter ere we knew?
Yet who can bring the May again?
