LOVE'S SEASONS.
Full-flowered summer lies upon the land I kiss your lips, your hair— then your hand Slips into mine; 10, we two understand That love is sweet. The rose leaf falls, the colour fades and diesThe sunlight fades, the summer, bird-like flies; ' There comes a shadow 'cross vour wistful eyesIs love so sweet? The flowers are dead, the land is blind with rain; The bud of beauty hears the fruit of painCan any note revive the broken strain, Is love so sweet? The world is cold, and death is everywhere. I turn to you, and in my heart's despair Find peace and rest. We know, through foul or fair, That love is sweet. --Pall Mall Gazette.
