COMPARISON, by                    
First Line: It's spring now!
Last Line: And that one may have a heaven here below.
Subject(s): Love; Spring


It's spring now!
And I love it more this year than I did last,
Because
The sun and showers say
You are coming
Before another month has passed.

Last year
Spring was spring; that was all,—
A pretty thing to greet.
But now it means that God let fall
A bit of Paradise
Right at my feet.

I did not have you then,
And that is why
I did not know
That the blue above is not the only sky,
And that one may have a Heaven here below.
