SPRING AND AUTUMN by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: GREEN RIPPLES SINGING DOWN THE CORN
Last Line: AND FULL OF WINTER PAIN.
Subject(s): CORN; GOLD; GREEN (COLOR); PAIN; WINTER; SUFFERING; MISERY;
GREEN ripples singing down the corn,
With blossoms dumb the path I tread,
And in the music of the morn
One with wild roses on her head.

Now the green ripples turn to gold
And all the paths are loud with rain,
I with desire am growing old
And full of winter pain.
