-
It is not early spring and yetB
Of bloodroot blooms along the streamC
And blotted banks of violetD
My heart will dreamC
-
Is it because the windflower apesE
The beauty that was once her browF
That the white memory of it shapesE
The April nowF
-
Because the wild rose wears the blushG
That once made sweet her maidenhoodD
Its thought makes June of barren bushH
And empty woodD
-
And then I think how young she diedD
Straight barren Death stalks down the treesI
The hard eyed Hours by his sideD
That kill and freezeI

-
When orchards are in bloom againJ
My heart will bound my blood will beatD
To hear the redbird so repeatD
On boughs of rosy stainK
His blithe loud song like some far strainK
From out the past among the bloomL
Where bee and wasp and hornet boomL
Fresh redolent of rainK
-
When orchards are in bloom once moreM
Invasions of lost dreams will drawN
My feet like some insistent lawN
Through blossoms to her doorM
In dreams I'll ask her as beforeM
To let me help her at the wellO
And fill her pail and long to tellO
My love as once of yoreM
-
I shall not speak until we quitD
The farm gate leading to the laneK
And orchard all in bloom againJ
Mid which the bluebirds sitD
And sing and through whose blossoms flitD
The catbirds crying while they flyA
Then tenderly I'll speak and tryA
To tell her all of itD
-
And in my dream again she'll placeP
Her hand in mine as oft beforeM
When orchards are in bloom once moreM
With all her young girl graceP
And we shall tarry till a traceP
Of sunset dyes the heav'ns and thenJ
We'll part and parting I againJ
Shall bend and kiss her faceP
-
And homeward singing I shall goQ
Along the cricket chirring waysR
While sunset one long crimson blazeR
Of orchards lingers lowQ
And my dead youth again I'll knowQ
And all her love when spring is hereS
Whose memory holds me many a yearT
Whose love still haunts me soQ
-
IIIA
-
I would not die when Springtime liftsU
The white world to her maiden mouthV
And heaps its cradle with gay giftsU
Breeze blown from out the singing SouthV
Too full of life and loves that clingW
Too heedless of all mortal woeQ
The young unsympathetic SpringW
That Death should never knowQ
-
I would not die when Summer shakesX
Her daisied locks below her hipsY
And naked as a star that takesX
A cloud into the silence slipsY
Too rich is Summer poor in needsZ
In egotism of lovelinessZ
Her pomp goes by and never heedsZ
One life the more or lessZ
-
But I would die when Autumn goesZ
The dark rain dripping from her hairA2
Through forests where the wild wind blowsZ
Death and the red wreck everywhereA2
Sweet as love's last farewells and tearsZ
To fall asleep when skies are grayB2
In the old autumn of my yearsZ
Like a dead leaf borne far awayB2
