WHY?

When we two met TO say good-by,
And roses tossed their scented snow
To woOing winds that whispered: nigh;
When sunlight fell in glittering showers
The blossom laden boughs among,
And all the earth was bright with flowers,
And all the air was glad with song:
That, even though you bent and kissed
The fearful cloud upon my face,

Which held no beauty and no graeef
/ wonder why. now days are cold, ;
And no gay wing the cOppice stirs;S
Now snow lies thickly Ger the worlds
And mournful winds are in the frs:
Nor sun. nor bird, nor flower miss,
Because al the old place we stand
(There are no tears for you to kiss).
And once more whisper hand in hand:
That though the earth is wraDpS in gloom,
And leaden clouds shut out the sky,
Ny world seems filled with light and bloom
And summer warmth-I wonder why r
