By Charles D'Orleans
Now Time throws off his cloak again / Of ermined frost, and wind, and rain, / And clothes him in the embroidery / Of glittering sun and clear blue sky. / With beast and bird the forest rings, / Each in his jargon cries or sings; / And Time throws off his cloak again. / Of ermined frost, and wind, and rain.
River, and fount, and tinkling brook / Wear in their dainty livery / Drops of silver jewelry; / In new-made suit they merry look; / And Time throws off his cloak again / Of ermined frost, and wind, and rain.
