April, comes she will, When streams are ripe and swelled with rain. May, she will stay, Resting in my arms again. June, she’ll change her tune. In restless walks she’ll prowl the night. July, she will fly, And give no warning to her flight. August, die she must. The autumn winds blow chilly and cold. September, I’ll remember. A love once new has now grown old. ---

What happened here As the New York sunset disappeared I found an empty garden among the flagstones there Who lived here He must have been a gardener that cared a lot Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop And now it all looks strange It’s funny how one insect can damage so much grain And what’s it for This little empty garden by the brownstone door And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more Who lived here He must have been a gardener that cared a lot Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop And we are so amazed we’re crippled and we’re dazed A gardener like that one no one can replace (36 years ago today…) ---
