You were gone And the whole year lied It should have been summer The streets were hot with June Fruit carts sweated at the corner Children shouted after noon But I kept walking colder Coatless in the heat With old December in my pockets And no blood in my feet Every green thing leaned toward me Every day came dressed in sun I looked at all that living And could not feel it come Summer went quiet When you went away Birds had a song But they sang it gray Orchards got heavy Fields bent low Nothing was full Without you there to know Summer went quiet Summer went quiet Winter under everything Autumn came loaded Baskets bruised and sweet Vines went drunk with plenty Grains lay thick as sleep But all that rich arriving Looked borrowed, looked bereaved Like fruit with no one claiming it Like bread no mouth believed All the world kept paying out I could not take my share The season had its hands out But you were not there Summer went quiet When you went away Birds had a song But they sang it gray Orchards got heavy Fields bent low Nothing was full Without you there to know Summer went quiet Summer went quiet Winter under everything If they sang, it came out thinner If they flew, they flew half-high Leaves went pale before the weather I knew why, I knew why Summer went quiet When you went away Birds had a song But they sang it gray Let the trees go heavy Let the fields bend low Nothing is summer If you are not there to know Summer went quiet Summer went quiet Winter under everything
