ALONE IN SPRING
I never met the Spring alone before:The flowers, birds, the loveliness of trees,For with me always there was one I love —And love is shield against such gifts as these.
But now I am alone, alone, alone;The days and nights one long remembering.Did other Aprils that we shared possessThe hurting beauty of this living Spring?
I never met the Spring alone before —My starving grief — this radiance of gold!...To be alone, when Spring is being born,One should be dead — or suddenly grown old.
