SEASONS by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS

First Line: SWEET IN SUMMER, CUPS OF SNOW
Last Line: WHILE THEY TALK OF LOVE TOGETHER.
Subject(s): LOVE; SEASONS;

Sweet in summer, cups of snow,
Cooling thirsty lips aglow;
Sweet to sailors winter-bound,
Spring arrives with garlands crowned;
Sweeter yet the hour that covers
With one cloak a pair of lovers,
Living lost in golden weather,
While they talk of love together.
