Spring Reminiscence

"MY sweet,” you sang, and, “Sweet,” I sang,And sweet we sang together,Glad to be young as the world was young,Two colts too strong for a tether.
Shall ever a spring be like that spring,Or apple blossoms as white;Or ever clover smell like the cloverWe lay upon that night?
Shall ever your hand lie in my hand,Pulsing to it, I wonder;Or have the gods, being jealous gods,Envied us our thunder?
