Richard Watson Gilder (Ричард Уотсон Гилдер)

The New Day. Part 4. 9. “Summer’s Rain and Winter’s Snow”

Summer's rain and winter's snow
With the seasons come and go;
             ⁠Shine and shower;
Tender bud and perfect flower;
Silver blossom, golden fruit;
             ⁠Song and lute,
With their inward sound of pain;
Winter's snow and summer's rain;
⁠             Frost and fire;
Joy beyond the heart's desire
And our June comes round again.
