Soon Will Set in the Fitful Weather

by Celia Thaxter

Soon will set in the fitful weather,
with fierce gales and sullen skies and frosty air, 
and it will be time to tuck up safely my roses and lilies 
and the rest for their winter sleep beneath the snow, 
where I never forget them, 
but ever dream of their wakening in happy summers yet to be.
