No notice gave she but a change

No Notice gave She, but a Change -
No Message, but a sigh -
For Whom, the Time did not suffice
That shecould should specify.

She was not warm, though Summer shone
Nor scrupulous of cold
Though Rime by Rime, the steady Frost
Opon HerPetals - • softness Bosom piled -

Of shrinking ways -Forebore her fright she did not fright
Though all the Village looked -
But held Her gravity aloft -
And met the gaze - direct -

And when adjusted like a seed
In careful fitted Ground
Unto the Everlasting Spring
And hindered but a Mound

Herstraight - • good - • quick - • safe Warm return, if so shesigned chose -
And We - imploring drew -
Removed our invitation by
AsUs - Some She never knew -
