Song

By Margaret Widdemer

1884-1978


The Spring will come when the year turns,
         As if no Winter had been,
But what shall I do with a locked heart
         That lets no new year in?

The birds will go when the Fall goes,
         The leaves will fade in the field,
But what shall I do with an old love
         Will neither die nor yield?

Oh! youth will turn as the world turns,
         And dim grow laughter and pain,
But how shall I hide from an old dream
         I never may dream again?
