SEASONS
Winter, spring, summer and fall—
Shadow-lights upon a wall:
Shadow-lights upon a wall:
Gleams of grey fleeing the path
Where the wind walks cold with wrath;
Where the wind walks cold with wrath;
Yellow-fluttered petalled things
Like flower ghosts of other springs;
Like flower ghosts of other springs;
Curtains of dull, sticky gold,
Smothering hours in their fold;
Smothering hours in their fold;
Smoky rays that stir and creep
Aimlessly, like tired sheep.
Aimlessly, like tired sheep.
Winter, spring, summer and fall—
Shadows fading on a wall.
Shadows fading on a wall.
