Puzzled Summer

 

Wispy summer bides a hesitating bye,

As nature's law forces exile

To the other hemisphere, along Nile,

Awaits which eagerly hot fairy's sigh,

That tropical ever-greenery doth wry

Over the cool lover gone vile;—

Makest love too much in spring's guile,

Over-bred, she calls thou with a cry.

 

Thou but autumn-stricken here:

Pine for these dew rainy nights

Over the winter flowers already sown,

Like a mother thou fear

Warmly for children left alone in cold's delights,

And with a fleecy sob thou moan.
