My garden-plot I have not kept;
A fool I was to sleep at noon,
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
And sun-warm'd sweet to-morrow:—
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
Talk what you please of future spring
I weep as I have never wept:
A fool to snap my lily.
Oh it was summer when I slept,
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
Faded and all-forsaken,
And wake when night is chilly
It's winter now I waken.
I sit alone with sorrow.
Stripp'd bare of hope and everything,
