Eranthis

Can you remember last spring?
We watched Nivalis2 and Luciliae3
Romance their last snow.
I stayed, waiting, and returned.
June forgot their frost,
As summer stretched the days...

I found my soul --
Overwhelmed by sorrow,
To the point of death.4
I buried my face in my hands,
And greeted those curious
With the same bitter-poison that
Had come to define my existence.

I was there:
To bring, and end, your spring
Raised in rough places
And beautiful amidst
The dead and dormant.

I live; while they are waiting to.
I taught them how--
Can you remember last spring?

Stay here and keep watch with me.5

Can you remember?
May this be taken from me.6
