SPRING comes: and baseball, robust flower, in every meadow's seen;
Summer: and tennis bourgeons white upon the shining green;
Autumn: and football shakes at us chrysanthemum-like hair;
Winter: and even ice is left a-bloom with skaters fair.
Four times a year the earth is glad with miscellaneous joy;
As often sighs the man who was — and now is not — a boy.
