The seasons of love like the seasons of earth

Portend new awakenings of a mysterious birth

Steadfast and anxious, Spring flowers wait for their cue

As I in my reveries once sat waiting for you

Summer eves opened my veiled, hidden heart

I never envisioned us being apart

As Autumn crept near with its trees in array

Contentment was mine for I knew you would stay

Winter snows were foretelling an unsettling dawn

The promise of seasons, like love, was now gone

The seasons of love like the seasons of life

Can make you a widow before you're a wife
