Another Mary Poem

MAY

by: Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

      CANNOT tell you how it was;
      But this I know: it came to pass
      Upon a bright and breezy day
      When May was young; ah, pleasant May!
      As yet the poppies were not born
      Between the blades of tender corn;
      The last eggs had not hatched as yet,
      Nor any bird forgone its mate.
      I cannot tell you what it was;
      But this I know: it did but pass.
      It passed away with sunny May,
      With all sweet things it passed away,
      And left me old, and cold, and grey.
