IX—“SUMMER'S RAIN AND WINTER'S SNOW”
Summer's rain and winter's snowWith the seasons come and go;
Shine and shower;
Tender bud and perfect flower;
Silver blossom, golden fruit;
Song and lute,
With their inward sound of pain;
Winter's snow and summer's rain;
Frost and fire;
Joy beyond the heart's desire—
And our June comes round again.
