Vincent knew and understood seasons. This poem uses two and they carry the meaning. It is such a magnificent poem because this is just what happens. 'It is not loves going that hurts my ways, but that it went in little ways.' Brilliant.

Year be springing or year be falling, The bark will drip and the birds be calling. There's much that's fine to see and hear........//// beautiful poem penned; excellent expression on the spring coming and going; the nature comes to us to make happy and again it goes far away but not giving the sorrow though we feel sometimes it; very impressive poem

There's much that's fine to see and hear In the spring of a year, in the fall of a year. 'Tis not love's going hurt my days. But that it went in little ways. The spring and love. tony

This is both subtle and easy to understand. Millay was a genius.

So easy to break a heart simply by being thoughtless. The pain comes through clearly in this poem.

He laughed at all I dared to praise, And broke my heart, in little ways Strange how the small slights can cut the most.
