Winter - My Secret by Christina Georgina Rossetti
I tell my secret
No indeed
Not I
Perhaps some day
Who knows
But not today
It froze
And blows and snows
And you're too curious
Fine
You want to hear it
Well
Only my secret's mine
And I won't tell
Or after all
Perhaps there's none
Suppose there is no secret after all
But only just my fun
Today's a nipping day a biting day
In which one wants a shawl
A veil
A cloak
And other wraps
I cannot hope to everyone who taps
And let the draughts come whistling through my hall
Come bounding and surrounding me
Come buffeting astounding me
Nipping and clipping through my wraps and all
I wear my mask for warmth
Who ever shows
His nose to Russian snows
To be pecked at by every wind that blows
You would not peck
I thank you for good will
Believe but leave that truth untested still
Spring's an expansive time
Yet I don't trust
March with its peck of dust
Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers
Nor even May whose flowers
One frost may wither throrough the sunless hours
Perhaps some languid summer's day
When drowsy birds sing less and less
And golden fruit is ripening to excess
If there's not too much sun nor too much cloud
And the warm wind is neither still nor loud
Perhaps my secret I may say
Or you may guess
