Regrets

(With apologies to Tennyson)

In the spring the winter's fancy

Lightly turns to thoughts of gold,

And she sets her brains to working

Heedless of catarrh or cold.

Visions sees of new spring dresses

And the hatter's gay display,

Wishes she had thought last autumn

Of the things she'd want in may!

--E.G.H.
