To the Spring Bygone

 

Summer hast arrived

As all the spring flowers begone;

When so many smiles shone,

Sun brighter now; perfume fried :

Flowery dust lie buried,

Small whiff and even that gone;

Scented maiden's ashes thrown,

Sis's dusty reaches get seed.

 

Silver Goddess sweetly hiss

Upon everything from leaves to tongues:

Dry leaves' short sway;

Discharmed lips open to kiss

The lost perfumed songs;—

Spring doth seem so far away.
