Warning of Winter by: Mary Ursula Bethell





Give ones,now red roses;


Summer-long you told us,


Urgently unfolding,death-sweet,life red,


Tidings of love. All's said,Give ones.





Summer-long you placarded


Leaf shades with heart-red


Symbols,Who knew not love at first knows now,


Who had forgot has now remembered,





Let it be,let be, lance-lilies,


Alert,pied-spottedtilting


Poised anthers,flaming,have done flaming flerce,


Hard hearts were pierced long since,and stricken





Give to the blast your thorn-crowns


Roses;and now be torn down


All you ardent lilies,your high-holden crests.


Havocked and cast to rest on the claiming ground.





Alas,alas to darkness


Descends the flowered pathway,


To solitary places deserts,utter night,


To issue in what hidden down of light hereafter?





But one,in dead of winter,


Divine Agape,kindles


Morning suns,new moons,lights starry trophies;


Rags tothe waste;Rejoice,and using forth roses,


To the ice-fields;Let here spring thick bright lilies.
