First Line: It is winter in my garden
Last Line: Burial.
Subject(s): Melancholy; Winter; Dejection
It is winter in my garden,
The naked branches of the shrubs
Betray the wounds of
Pruner's knife.
It is winter in my heart,
The ghost of half-remembered fear
Chills to desolation
My spirit.
It is winter in my garden.
The shriveled mummy of a summer's flower is gaunt;
I must remember to give it
Burial.
