CROSS MY HEART by EVELYN GRACE FERGUSON

First Line: SPRING IS A YOUNG GIRL, PINK AND WHITE
Last Line: -- AND REST AWHILE WITH WINTER, DEATH'S ENVOY.
Subject(s): LIFE; SEASONS;
Spring is a young girl, pink and white;
Summer is a lady, gay with joy;
Autumn is a young man, eyes a-light;
Winter is a patriarch, Death's envoy.

"Hope!" cries our vibrant Spring;
"Love," whispers Summer's voice;
"Success," Autumn's accents ring;
"Peace," Winter's sighing choice.

We shall all meet Spring, pink and white;
Clasp hands with Summer, gay with joy;
Gladly walk with Autumn, eyes a-light;
-- And rest awhile with Winter, Death's envoy.
