There is a June when Corn is cut


There is a June when Corn is cut
And Roses in the Seed
A Summer briefer than the first
But tenderer indeed

As should a Face supposed the Grave’s
Emerge a single Noon
In the Vermilion that it wore
Affect us, and return

Two Seasons, it is said, exist
The Summer of the Just,
And this of Ours, diversified
With Prospect, and with Frost

May not our Second with its First
So infinite compare
That We but recollect the one
The other to prefer?
