I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,

Unto his nest again,

“If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by,
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.

If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.”
