MY BELOVED

The daWns are cold and the low skies frown,
The birds drop wing and their song is done,
The autumn's mist is over the sun;
But, oh, my beloved has come to town!
The grass is dead that grew on the down,
Close where the lime tree droops to the wall
The hoar frost crackles the leaves that fall;
But, oh, my beloved has come to town!
The meadow has donned the winter gown,
light snow melts on the shining pane,
The sea gull's cry fills the soul with pain;
But, OH my beloved has come to town!
The summers laughter the wild winds drown,
The garden pathway is bleak and black,
The dark clouds gloom on the moons pale track;
But, OH my beloved has come to town!
