I acted first to actualize this dream In the thorny days of very early spring When the buds were half-full, content to sleep away through dawn Hiding in green blankets from the rising sun
Then your genial conversation pried open the green packages of joy An irresistible seraphic power bloomed forth as you laced your arm in mine You sent me into fever with a single unexpected hug And spring sprang forth under the warm rays of your righteous eyes
But summer is coming, in fact, it's almost here The tree tops are peppered with April's final gifts And June's full verdant splendor is approaching quick
Yet your love is ever distant Perhaps so confined as to never break free Perhaps so guarded as to never welcome me
One night was not enough my eternal affections to return Please don't prune the bud when summer's sun has just begun to burn
