Enoch Powell: First Poems: XLIII) The year revolves, the swifts return

XLIII) The year revolves, the swifts return

The year revolves, the swifts return,
The fields are white with may;
To light the summer on its way
The chestnut candles burn.

But bursting bud and lengthening day
To me are but a sign
Of one that took his youth and mine
And lost them far away.
