“WHO WAS IT SWEPT AGAINST MY DOOR”

Richard Le Gallienne

Who was it swept against my door just now, With rustling robes like Autumn's — was it thou? Ah! would it were thy gown against my door — Only thy gown once more.

Sometimes the snow, sometimes the fluttering breath Of April, as toward May she wandereth, Make me a moment think that it is thou — But yet it is not thou!
