In The Green And Gallant Spring

Robert Louis Stevenson 1850 (Edinburgh) – 1894 (Vailima, Samoa)

IN the green and gallant Spring,
Love and the lyre I thought to sing,
And kisses sweet to give and take
By the flowery hawthorn brake.

Now is russet Autumn here,
Death and the grave and winter drear,
And I must ponder here aloof
While the rain is on the roof.
