L'aura del Campo

A bee's lament [49]

A bee's lament

No rose blooms yet in this northern clime.
No nightengale sings a lullaby.
The first mourning cloak has winged its flight.
Why should I be forced to act my age?

Joy comes by invitation only.
It's been a long time since I've been asked.
Festivals just mark another year.
Are you surprised that I'm still here?
