Ourselves were wed one summer - dear

Ourselves were wed one summer - dear -
Your Vision - was in June -
And when Your little Lifetime failed,
I wearied - too - of mine -

And overtaken in the Dark -
Where You had put me down -
By Some one carrying a Light -
I - too - received the Sign -

'Tis true - Our Futures different lay -
Your Cottage - faced the sun -
While Oceans - and the North must be -
On every side of mine

'Tis true, Your Garden led the Bloom,
For mine - in Frosts - was sown -
And yet, one Summer, we were Queens -
But You - were crowned in June -
