Like Winter

I find I can compare thee to Winter

For like Winter thou are cold and fleeting

And though thou may bring with thee bad weather

I still look forward to our next meeting

Thou hide behind a curated disguise

Oh, my love, my feelings will never fade

Thou hide thyself from the public’s own eyes

But thy true self will never cease to amaze

Now those sweet times have since passed us long by

And Winter has melted into the Spring

Thou invade my thoughts at night, and I cry

For time has forgotten out love’s brief fling

The Eurydice to my own Orpheus

The world must not have been ready for us Like Winter
