FAIR maid in all thy Summer loveliness,
Enrich thy soul’s parched land with kindly showers ;
Let not Autumn compel thee to confess
Thy verdure died in Passion’s burning hours
Or was chilled to death by th’ unseasoned blast
Of pride ; within Love’s intuitive care,
The wondrous latent beauteousness thou hast
Shall bloom in curtseying sweetness on the air
And Autumn be a time of golden days,
Filled with the sense that labour soon shall cease,
Then may we safely wander different ways
Fast bound together by our joint increase ;
And in the Winter of our lives shall fall
A white and shining radiance over all.
(Bernard Waters)
