'T WAS springtime of the day and year;
Clouds of white fragrance hid the thorn.
My heart unto her heart drew near,
And ere the dew had fled the morn,
Sweet Love was born.

An August noon, an hour of bliss,
That stands amid my hours alone,
A word, a look, then -- ah, that kiss!
Joy's veil was rent, her secret known:
Love was full-grown.

And now this drear November eve,
What has to-day seen done, heard said?
It boots not; who has tears to grieve
For that last leaf yon tree has shed,
Or for Love dead?
