WINTER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: WHERE ARE THE FLOWERS? WHERE THE LEAVES?
Last Line: LOVE ONLY DIES TO LIVE ABOVE
Subject(s): WINTER;

WHERE are the flowers? where the leaves?
Where the sweet zephyrs' gentle breath?
Where mellowed fruits and golden sheaves?
Dead, dead; all icy bound in death!
Is Love too dead? Hence, needless pain!
Love only sleeps to wake again.
Love dead? Ah, no, not so with Love!
Love only dies to live above.
