And not the full four seasons of the year;
And you must welcome from another part
Such noble moods as are not mine, my dear.

Have I, nor any wise and wintry thing;
And I have loved you all too long and well
To carry still the high sweet breast of spring.

I must be gone, steal forth with silent drums,
That you may hail anew the bird and rose
When I come back to you, as summer comes.

Even your summer in another clime. — Edna St. Vincent Millay
