Springtime Lover

                     

What happed to you, my springtime lover?

We danced so merrily--

I played my harp, you sang your songs,

All summer by the sea

What happed to you, my springtime lover?

We needed wood and bread

When wintertime arrived due course

You sang me songs instead

What happed to you, my springtime lover?

When the baby cried?

When snow fell down to smother day  

When the fire died?

What happed to you, my springtime lover?

Why did you go away?

Mayhap you’ve found another love

For your springtime play
