The Wind and the Weather
FOREVER shall not burn his tongueSo glibly after this;Eternity was brief that hungUpon a passing kiss.
A year ago no metaphorWas rich enough to traceA single figure boasting moreAllurement than her face.
One spring from then, small change we findIn him; she still is fair.But in the other's heart or mindNeither glows anywhere.
