THE LIGHT of spring <br />On the emerald earth, <br />A man, a maid, <br />And a mood of mirth, <br />A foolish jest, <br />That a smile amends - <br />It took no more <br />To make us friends. <br /> <br />An evening breeze, <br />The year in bloom, <br />Lips quickly met <br />In the garden's gloom; <br />The trees about us, <br />The stars above - <br />It took no more <br />To teach us love. <br /> <br />Frost in the air - <br />The air like wine - <br />Go you your way, <br />And I'll go mine. <br />Lightly we part <br />Who lightly met - <br />What more is needed, <br />When both forget?<br /><br />Alice Duer Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-194/
