...Yesterday...
OF ! Yesterday. the earth was dark and cold, The gums tossed mournful leaves against the sky. The birds’ notes sounded shrill, they seemed to scold | Each other as they paused in winging by. : A battered rose clung by an old brick well, My feet dragged wearily the whole day through, From leaden skies sad mists of grey rain fell. Oh, that this dreary world I might renew. You were not here! Since yesterday the world is wondrous fair, The sky is azure blue, with ne’er a cloud, Or so it seems, while gum leaves scent the air, And gay cicadas cheep thew songs aloud. The giant red rose, intoxicating sweet, Gives forth its fragrance from the next high wall. Scarce can I stay my gaily dancing feet, The whole earth moves electric to my call, For you are here!
