AU CONTRAIRE by ELAINE M. LIVINGSTON

First Line: THE WINTER'S TOO WARM AND THE SPRING'S TOO COLD
Last Line: AND THE SUN'S UP TOO SOON IN THE MORNING.
Subject(s): CONTRARINESS;
The winter's too warm and the spring's too cold;
The crops are too young and the year too old;
The flowers are too modest, the crows too bold;
And the sun's up too soon in the morning.
