JUNE
Aprilwas in your making—youth of the year,Wild-blooded, beautiful! And May with flowersAnd showers agleam went into you, my dear.But you are June. Deep shadows, silver dew,Red roses, and the nightingale’s delight:White moonlight the essential soul of you.And sometimes as I watch you walk arrayedIn beauty of that month, a foolish fearComes, dear, into my heart: I am afraidThat you being one with shadow-bars and roses,Birds and wild scents of June, with these will flyAnd I be left alone when Summer closesHer pageantry!

And sometimes as I watch you walk arrayed
In beauty of that month, a foolish fear
Comes, dear, into my heart: I am afraid

Birds and wild scents of June, with these will fly
And I be left alone when Summer closes
Her pageantry!
