Here you will find the Poem The Daughter Of The Year of poet Ellis Parker Butler
Nature, when she made thee, dear, Begged the treasures of the year. For thy cheeks, all pink and white, Spring gave apple blossoms light; Summer, for thy matchless eyes, Gave the azure of her skies; Autumn spun her gold and red In a mass of silken thread? Gold and red and sunlight rare For the wonder of thy hair! Surly Winter would impart But his coldness, for thy heart. Dearest, let the love I bring Turn thy Winter into Spring. What are Summer, Spring and Fall, If thy Winter chills them all?
