    Text

    Even in the moment of our earliest kiss,
    When sighed the straitened bud into the flower,
    Sat the dry seed of most unwelcome this;
    And that I knew, thought not the day and hour.
    Too season-wise am I, being country-bred,
    To tilt at autumn or defy the frost:
    Snuffing the chill even as my fathers did,
    I say with them, “What’s out tonight is lost.”
    I only hoped, with the mild hope of all
    Who watch the leaf take shape upon the tree,
    A fairer summer and a later fall
    Than in these parts a man is apt to see,
    And sunny clusters ripened for the wine:
    I tell you this across the blackened vine.
