Like Time's insidious wrinkle

... Though we resent the creaseThe Frost himself so comely ...

Lives he in any other world

... Lives he in any other world ...

Longing is like the Seed

... What Constancy must be achieved ...

Look back on Time, with kindly eyes --

... Look back on Time, with kindly eyes -- ...

Low at my problem bending,

... Wherefore, my baffled fingers ...

Make me a picture of the sun

... Put my pretense -- away --Say if it's really -- warm at noon -- ...

Mama never forgets her birds,

... If either of her "sparrows fall," ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Many cross the Rhine

... Sip old Frankfort air ...

March is the Month of Expectation.

... We try to show becoming firmness -- ...
