  Deterred by Retrospect.

  To walk within the Veil.

• I have a Bird in spring
  Which for myself doth sing -
  The spring decoys.
  And as the summer nears -
  And as the Rose appears,
  Robin is gone.

  Knowing that Bird of mine
  Though flown -
  Learneth beyond the sea
  Melody new for me
  And will return.

• As Summer into Autumn slips
  And yet we sooner say
  "The Summer" than "the Autumn," lest
  We turn the sun away,
  
  And almost count it an Affront
  The presence to concede
  Of one however lovely, not
  The one that we have loved -
  
  So we evade the charge of Years
  On one attempting shy
  The Circumvention of the Shaft
  Of Life's Declivity.

  The other to prefer?

• Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, But which will bloom most constantly? The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring ,Its summer blossoms scent the air; Yet wait till winter comes again, And who will call the wild-briar fair? Then, scorn the silly rose-wreath now, And deck thee with holly's sheen, That, when December blights thy brow, He still may leave thy garland green.
