I who all the Winter Through

Explore "I who all the Winter Through" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

I WHO all the winter through / Cherished other loves than you, / And kept hands with hoary policy in marriage-bed and pew; / Now I know the false and true, / For the earnest sun looks through, / And my old love comes to meet me in the dawning and the dew.

Now the hedged meads renew / Rustic odour, smiling hue, / And the clean air shines and tinkles as the world goes wheeling / through; / And my heart springs up anew, / Bright and confident and true, / And my old love comes to meet me in the dawning and the dew.
