A poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay

 

When poppies in the garden bleed,
And coreopsis goes to seed,

And pansies, blossoming past their prime,
Grow small and smaller all the time,

When on the mown field, shrunk and dry,
Brown dock and purple thistle lie,

And smoke from forest fires at noon
Can make the sun appear the moon,

When apple seeds, all white before,
Begin to darken in the core,

I know that summer, scarcely here,
Is gone until another year.
