Grown And Flown

Topics: classic

I loved my love from green of Spring         Until sere Autumn's fall;     But now that leaves are withering         How should one love at all?         One heart's too small     For hunger, cold, love, everything.     I loved my love on sunny days         Until late Summer's wane;     But now that frost begins to glaze         How should one love again?         Nay, love and pain     Walk wide apart in diverse ways.     I loved my love - alas to see         That this should be, alas!     I thought that this could scarcely be,         Yet has it come to pass:         Sweet sweet love was,     Now bitter bitter grown to me.
