Who Was It Swept Against My Door

By Richard Le Gallienne

Who was it swept against my door just now, With rustling robes like Autumn's - was it thou? Ah! would it were thy gown against my door - Only thy gown once more. Sometimes the snow, sometimes the fluttering breath Of April, as toward May she wandereth, Make me a moment think that it is thou - But yet it is not thou!
