COLD

"COLD," cried the wind on the hill,

"Cold," sang the tree;

Your eyes were blue-grey and still

And cold as the sea.

Cold lay the snow on the land;

Cold stood the pine;

But neither as cold as your hand

Lying in mine.

Ah, Love, has the fire died so soon—

Just smoldered and gone;

A kiss by the light of the moon,

A parting by dawn.
