It’s snowing this afternoon of the May And there are no flowers. There is only this sound of falling, quite and remote.

Who says like the memory of scales Descending the white keys Of a childhood piano — outside the window.

Oaks! And the heavy head of the Cereus Inclining, Aberdeen soon to let down Its white or silver or white yellow.

Only these poor snow-flower in a heap Like the memory of a white dreams With the hollow.

So much has fallen, like the day light star And I, who have listened for a step All morning, hear it falling away.

Already in memory. And the terrible scales descending On the silent piano.

The snowand the flowers abounding Those promised took the time to Absence as he used to do.
