BIRTHDAY POEM
II this white benedction Of the snow
Fell not from Heaven upon our frozen fields.
Thy Summer festival would hardly know
What wealth June upeneth proud Autumn
yields.
II never sorrow should come near thy heart
Nor any GOODNESS dim the light Of love,
Thou couldst not know thy natures better part
Or look for hopes best harvest from above.
Unbroken sunshine and perpetual heat
Make deserts only. Clouds that bring no rain
Shelter no gardens: and thine eyes, my sweet,
Must know what tears are, fond eyes to remain
