Love's Seasons and Reasons.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.
I love my love in spring-time
For beauty fresh as May.
For cheeks like early roses,
For eyes as bright as day:
For breath like balm of lilies,
For smiles like sunrise clear;
I love my love in spring-time,
And love her all the year.
I love my love in summer,
For promise warm and true,
For truth like noonday throwing
A light on old and new:
For wealth of bloom and freshness,
And shady comfort near;
I love my love in summer,
And love her all the year.
I love my love in autumn,
For fruit of gentle deeds
For wisdom to be garnered
To serve our future needs:
For virtues ripening ever,
Like harvests full in ear;
I love my love in autumn,
And love her all the year.
I love my love in winter,
For charities untold,
For warmth of household welcome,
For looks that thaw the cold:
For harmless mirth and pastime.
As rich as Christmas cheer;
I love my love in winter,
And love her all the year.
