Autumn to winter, winter into spring,
Spring into summer, summer into fall, —
So rolls the changing year, and so we change;
Motion so swift, we know not that we move.Dinah Maria Mulock
Autumn to winter, winter into spring,
Spring into summer, summer into fall, —
So rolls the changing year, and so we change;
Motion so swift, we know not that we move.Dinah Craik
O brief, bright smile of summer!
O days divine and dear
The voices of winter's sorrow
Already we can hear.Celia Thaxter
Hearts with one purpose alone
Through summer and winter, seem
Enchanted to a stone
To trouble the living stream.William Butler Yeats
Country acquaintances are charming only in the country and only in the summer. In the city in winter they lose half of their appeal.
