Summer and Spring + 

We sat under an old thorn-tree + 

And talked away the night, + 

Told all that had been said or done + 

Since first we saw the light, + 

And when we talked of growing up + 

Knew that we’d halved a soul + 

And fell the one in t’other’s arms + 

That we might make it whole; + 

Then Peter had a murdering look + 

For it seemed that he and she + 

Had spoken of their childish days + 

Under that very tree. + 

O what a bursting out there was, + 

And what a blossoming, + 

When we had all the summer time + 

And she had all the spring. + 
