IN SPRING by ALINE MURRAY KILMER

First Line: I DO NOT KNOW WHICH IS WORSE WHEN YOU ARE AWAY
Last Line: I WALK ALONE IN WAYS THAT WE WENT IN TOGETHER.
Subject(s): SPRING;
I do not know which is worse when you are away:
Long gray days with the lisping sound of the rain,
And then when the lilac dusk is beginning to fall,
The thought that perhaps you may never come back again;

Or days when the world is a shimmer of blue and gold,
Sparkling newly all in the dear spring weather,
And with a heart that is torn apart by pain,
I walk alone in ways that we went in together.
