Summer and Winter.

All those were very pleasant days,
The days we spent together,
Come back through memory's golden haze,
On cloudless summer weather!
That may deem I've saved at least
Some fragments from life's scattered least
We wandered past the shallow stream,
And through the new-mown hay
Each hour was like some golden dream'
From Paradise astray;
The scent of roses on the air
Seemed part of life, which was so far.
We roamed amid the thick, green wood
Through the cool pleasant trees;
And. all this world seemed very good
With all its memories;
Inever saw the moon so bright
As through the boughs that summer night.
And now hear the bitter rain
Sweep from the angry heaven,
As blindly 'gainst the window-pane
The withered leaves are driven;
Then faint and lorn the moon appears,
All dim, like one who smiles through tears
That ghostly moons uncertain light
Flung over the gaunt, bare trees
The starless sorrow of the night
The wailing of the breeze;
All me it was another earth,
Where summer reigned in light and mlrth.
And love, so pleasant, though SO brief,
Was made for summer days.
Departing ere the falling leaf,
And Autumn mellow rays;
Nor does it seem so very strange
That we, like all things else, should change
Our dream has vanished as it came;
Some hours of care it snatched;
Perchance we played dangerous game,
But we'll the players matched,
Without reproach in either heart,
We clasp cold hands and SO we part.
