SEASONS

Winter, spring, summer and fall— Shadow-lights upon a wall:
Gleams of grey fleeing the path Where the wind walks cold with wrath;
Yellow-fluttered petalled things Like flower ghosts of other springs;
Curtains of dull, sticky gold, Smothering hours in their fold;
Smoky rays that stir and creep Aimlessly, like tired sheep.
Winter, spring, summer and fall—Shadows fading on a wall.
