In the ripeness and completeness

Of the gold and crimson fruitage that my heart has harvested.

WHEREFORE WINGS?

Heigho, sparrow! Reckless of the rain;

When chill the cheerless wind grows,

Chirping might and main!

Is it naught, then, when the rose

Blows again?

Beating, sleeting on your draggled coat!

Surely, ’tis enough to drown
