FICKLENESS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I loved ... I lost ... 'the very world'
Last Line: I straightway loved again.
Subject(s): Love


I LOVED ... I lost ... "The very world,"
Thought I, "must cease to be;
June, find no pleasure in her rose,
Since She no more loves me!"

But when I saw the world still glad
With sun and flower and rain,
That June had not forgot her rose—
I straightway loved again.
