Poems. Edna St. Vincent Millay

СКАЧАТЬ Spring is here; and so ’tis spring;—

       But not in the old way!

      I recall a place

       Where a plum-tree grew;

       There you lifted up your face,

       And blossoms covered you.

      If the little birds sing,

       And the little lambs play,

       Spring is here; and so ’tis spring—

       But not in the old way!

III

       Table of Contents

      All the dog-wood blossoms are underneath the tree!

       Ere spring was going—ah! spring is gone!

       And there comes no summer to the like of you and me—

       Blossom time is early, but no fruit sets on.

      All the dog-wood blossoms are underneath the tree,

       Browned at the edges, turned in a day;

       And I would with all my heart they trimmed a mound for me,

       And weeds were tall on all the paths that led that way!

The Shroud

       Table of Contents

      Death, I say, my heart is bowed

       Unto thine—O mother!

       This red gown will make a shroud

       Good as any other!

      (I, that would not wait to wear

       My own bridal things,

       In a dress dark as my hair

       Made my answerings.

      I, to-night, that till he came

       Could not, could not wait,

       In a gown as bright as flame

       Held for them the gate.)

      Death, I say, my heart is bowed

       Unto thine—O mother!

       This red gown will make a shroud

       Good as any other!
