autumn valentine

From unixronin who got it from gdmusumeci via ttocs:

Post a line from a poem (perhaps the first line, but do as whim strikes) to your journal. The poem must be by someone other than yourself.

Use what you post as a link back to the post in which you saw this meme.

Hmm, the meme calls for a line, but unixronin did a stanza. I think I'll do a whole poem.


In May my heart was breaking-
Oh, wide the wound, and deep!
And bitter it beat at waking,
And sore it split in sleep.

And when it came November,
I sought my heart, and sighed,
"Poor thing, do you remember?"
"What heart was that?" it cried.
