Poem of the Week CXXXIII

In honor of finally beginning A Severe Mercy,


Maytime
Sheldon Vanauken

The aged winter fled away
Before the bugles of the May,--
And love, dear love, arose.
But when spring's glory goes
The lilacs of our love shall stay,
For ever Maytime sweet and gay,--
Until the lilacs close
Beneath the deathly snows.
