The winter not a single leaf had left
It'd taken warmth and sun among the theft
Then left me in the bleak and dismal cold
Where color, light, and joy my life bereft
Then you appeared like fire and sparks of gold
Bearing heat of spring to me you strolled
And soft upon my heart a kiss you placed
You bid my eyes your beauty to behold
Awake my soul and body hot they raced
Your light and sultry form my arms embraced
And vowed that never the cold again I'd feel
Because your sun my winter has replaced
Interlocking Rubaiyat form
