Gone were but the Winter,
\nCome were but the Spring,
\nI would go to a covert
\nWhere the birds sing;<\/p>\n

Where in the whitethorn
\nSingeth a thrush,
\nAnd a robin sings
\nIn the holly-bush.<\/p>\n

Full of fresh scents
\nAre the budding boughs
\nArching high over
\nA cool green house:<\/p>\n

Full of sweet scents,
\nAnd whispering air
\nWhich sayeth softly:
\n\u201cWe spread no snare;<\/p>\n

\u201cHere dwell in safety,
\nHere dwell alone,
\nWith a clear stream
\nAnd a mossy stone.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere the sun shineth
\nMost shadily;
\nHere is heard an echo
\nOf the far sea,
\nThough far off it be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)<\/em><\/p>\n
