Has summer come without the rose, <br />Or left the bird behind? <br />Is the blue changed above thee, <br />O world! or am I blind? <br />Will you change every flower that grows, <br />Or only change this spot, <br />Where she who said, I love thee, <br />Now says, I love thee not? <br /> <br />The skies seemed true above thee, <br />The rose true on the tree; <br />The bird seemed true the summer through, <br />But all proved false to me.<br /><br />Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-has-come-without-the-rose/
