I Thought of Love in Springtime

by Rachel A. Gold

I thought of Love in Summertime
And my heart beat high with hope
That here was truly Lasting Love -
(I planned that we'd elope-)

I thought of Love in autumn
And my heart was sad to see
I loved so much - so deeply-
And (alas) so hopelessly

I thought of Love in winter
And with sober heart I knew
That love at last was mine to keep
Remaining ever true.
