This morning was a month ago,
Yesterday’s a year gone by.
Only a week has passed,
But it’s a memory in a silent sigh.
The air comes cooler every day,
Creeping in like autumn gloss.
The wheel is turning ‘round,
But yet I’ll find I’m gazing 'cross.
I dream of that other side,
Emerald birds carry me away,
To days that wrap me up,
In the glorious warmth of May.
