Spring and Fall: To a Young Child

Spring and Fall: to a young child - Natalie Merchant

Written by：Natalie Merchant

Má rgaré t á re you grí eving

Over goldengrove unleaving

Leá ves lí ke the things of man you

With your fresh thoughts care for can you

á h á s the heart grows older

It will come to such sights colder

By and by nor spare a sigh

Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie

And yet you will weep and you know why

Now no matter child the name

Sorrow's springs are the same

Nor mouth had no nor mind expressed

What heart heard of ghost guessed

It is the blight man was born for

It is margaret that you mourn for
