Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson

* * *

IN the green and gallant Spring,
Love and the lyre I thought to sing,
And kisses sweet to give and take
By the flowery hawthorn brake.

Now is russet Autumn here,
Death and the grave and winter drear,
And I must ponder here aloof
While the rain is on the roof.

3. A Valentine's Song
4. Songs of Travel and Other Verses. 34. To My Old Familiars
5. De Ligurra
