Men and gods have not outlearned it ;
And, how oft soe'er they 've turned it,
'Tis not to be improved.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

"OH, LOVE IS NOT A SUMMER MOOD."

H, Love is not a summer mood,

OH,

Nor flying phantom of the brain,

Nor youthful fever of the blood,

Nor dream, nor fate, nor circumstance.
Love is not born of blinded chance,
Nor bred in simple ignorance.

Love is the flower of maidenhood;
Love is the fruit of mortal pain;
And she hath winter in her blood.
