I Was Very Cold + 

I was very cold + 

In the summer weather; + 

The sun shone all his gold, + 

But I was very cold⁠— + 

Alas, we were grown old, + 

Love and I together! + 

Oh, but I was cold + 

In the summer weather! + 

Sudden I grew warmer + 

Though the brooks were frozen: + 

“Truly, scorn did harm her!” + 

I said, and I grew warmer; + 

“Better men the charmer + 

Knows at least a dozen!” + 

I said, and I grew warmer + 

Though the brooks were frozen. + 

Spring sits on her nest, + 

Daisies and white clover; + 

And my heart at rest + 

Lies in the spring’s young nest: + 

My love she loves me best, + 

And the frost is over! + 

Spring sits on her nest, + 

Daisies and white clover! + 
