A DISAPPOINTMENT
 Spring, of a sudden, came to life one day.
 Ere this, the Winter had been cold and chill.
 That morning first the Summer air did fill
 The world, making bleak March seem almost May.
 The daffodils were blooming golden gay;
 The birch trees budded purple on the hill;
 The rose, that clambered up the window--sill,
 Put forth a crimson shoot. All yesterday
 The winds about the casement chilly blew,
 But now the breeze that played before the door
 So caught the dead leaves that I thought there flew
 Brown butterflies up from the grassy floor.
 --But someone said you came not. Ah, too true!
 And I, I thought that Winter reigned once more.
