Engaged Too Long

Why do I grieve with summer here?I want the flower that died last year;I want the old drops of the dew,And my old love, sir, .- and not you.

Younger than you, nor quite so wise,Was he who had your hair and eyes, .-Who said, "I love you" first, you see;This you repeat, and weary me.
