Summer is gone on swallows' wings	A
And Earth has buried all her flowers	B
No more the lark the linnet sings	A
But Silence sits in faded bowers	B
There is a shadow on the plain	C
Of Winter ere he comes again	D
There is in woods a solemn sound	E
Of hollow warnings whisper'd round	E
As Echo in her deep recess	F
For once had turn'd a prophetess	G
Shuddering Autumn stops to list	H
And breathes his fear in sudden sighs	I
With clouded face and hazel eyes	I
That quench themselves and hide in mist	H
Yes Summer's gone like pageant bright	J
Its glorious days of golden light	J
Are gone the mimic suns that quiver	K
Then melt in Time's dark flowing river	K
Gone the sweetly scented breeze	L
That spoke in music to the trees	L
Gone for damp and chilly breath	M
As if fresh blown o'er marble seas	L
Or newly from the lungs of Death	M
Gone its virgin roses' blushes	N
Warm as when Aurora rushes	N
Freshly from the God's embrace	O
With all her shame upon her face	O
Old Time hath laid them in the mould	P
Sure he is blind as well as old	P
Whose hand relentless never spares	Q
Young cheeks so beauty bright as theirs	Q
Gone are the flame eyed lovers now	R
From where so blushing blest they tarried	P
Under the hawthorn's blossom bough	R
Gone for Day and Night are married	P
All the light of love is fled	P
Alas that negro breasts should hide	P
The lips that were so rosy red	P
At morning and at even tide	P
Delightful Summer then adieu	P
Till thou shalt visit us anew	P
But who without regretful sigh	S
Can say adieu and see thee fly	S
Not he that e'er hath felt thy pow'r	T
His joy expanding like a flow'r	T
That cometh after rain and snow	U
Looks up at heaven and learns to glow	U
Not he that fled from Babel strife	V
To the green sabbath land of life	V
To dodge dull Care 'mid clustered trees	L
And cool his forehead in the breeze	L
Whose spirit weary worn perchance	W
Shook from its wings a weight of grief	X
And perch'd upon an aspen leaf	X
For every breath to make it dance	W
Farewell on wings of sombre stain	C
That blacken in the last blue skies	I
Thou fly'st but thou wilt come again	D
On the gay wings of butterflies	I
Spring at thy approach will sprout	P
Her new Corinthian beauties out	P
Leaf woven homes where twitter words	Y
Will grow to songs and eggs to birds	Y
Ambitious buds shall swell to flowers	B
And April smiles to sunny hours	B
Bright days shall be and gentle nights	Z
Full of soft breath and echo lights	Z
As if the god of sun time kept	P
His eyes half open while he slept	P
Roses shall be where roses were	K
Not shadows but reality	P
As if they never perished there	A2
But slept in immortality	P
Nature shall thrill with new delight	P
And Time's relumined river run	B2
Warm as young blood and dazzling bright	P
As if its source were in the sun	B2
But say hath Winter then no charms	C2
Is there no joy no gladness warms	D2
His aged heart no happy wiles	E2
To cheat the hoary one to smiles	E2
Onward he comes the cruel North	F2
Pours his furious whirlwind forth	F2
Before him and we breathe the breath	M
Of famish'd bears that howl to death	M
Onward he comes from the rocks that blanch	G2
O'er solid streams that never flow	U
His tears all ice his locks all snow	U
Just crept from some huge avalanche	G2
A thing half breathing and half warm	H2
As if one spark began to glow	U
Within some statue's marble form	H2
Or pilgrim stiffened in the storm	H2
Oh will not Mirth's light arrows fail	I2
To pierce that frozen coat of mail	I2
Oh will not joy but strive in vain	C
To light up those glazed eyes again	D
No take him in and blaze the oak	J2
And pour the wine and warm the ale	I2
His sides shall shake to many a joke	J2
His tongue shall thaw in many a tale	I2
His eyes grow bright his heart be gay	K2
And even his palsy charm'd away	K2
What heeds he then the boisterous shout	P
Of angry winds that scowl without	P
Like shrewish wives at tavern door	L2
What heeds he then the wild uproar	L2
Of billows bursting on the shore	L2
In dashing waves in howling breeze	L
There is a music that can charm him	M2
When safe and sheltered and at ease	L
He hears the storm that cannot harm him	M2
But hark those shouts that sudden din	N2
Of little hearts that laugh within	N2
Oh take him where the youngsters play	K2
And he will grow as young as they	K2
They come they come each blue eyed Sport	P
The Twelfth Night King and all his court	P
'Tis Mirth fresh crown'd with misletoe	P
Music with her merry fiddles	O2
Joy 'on light fantastic toe '	P2
Wit with all his jests and riddles	O2
Singing and dancing as they go	U
And Love young Love among the rest	P
A welcome nor unbidden guest	P
But still for Summer dost thou grieve	Q2
Then read our Poets they shall weave	Q2
A garden of green fancies still	R2
Where thy wish may rove at will	R2
They have kept for after treats	S2
The essences of summer sweets	S2
And echoes of its songs that wind	P
In endless music through the mind	P
They have stamp'd in visible traces	N
The 'thoughts that breathe ' in words that shine	T2
The flights of soul in sunny places	N
To greet and company with thine	T2
These shall wing thee on to flow'rs	N
The past or future that shall seem	U2
All the brighter in thy dream	U2
For blowing in such desert hours	N
The summer never shines so bright	P
As thought of in a winter's night	P
And the sweetest loveliest rose	N
Is in the bud before it blows	N
The dear one of the lover's heart	P
Is painted to his longing eyes	N
In charms she ne'er can realize	N
But when she turns again to part	P
Dream thou then and bind thy brow	R
With wreath of fancy roses now	R
And drink of Summer in the cup	V2
Where the Muse hath mix'd it up	V2
The 'dance and song and sun burnt mirth '	P2
With the warm nectar of the earth	W2
Drink 'twill glow in every vein	C
And thou shalt dream the winter through	P
Then waken to the sun again	D
And find thy Summer Vision true	P
