As Frost is best conceived

951

As Frost is best conceived
By force of its Result —
Affliction is inferred
By subsequent effect —

If when the sun reveal,
The Garden keep the Gash —
If as the Days resume
The wilted countenance

Cannot correct the crease
Or counteract the stain —
Presumption is Vitality
Was somewhere put in twain.

    Instead of trying to figure out what she means or what it means to anyone else, try sculpting a meaning out of it that suits your own life, can you? I can.

    I don't really get this one. If anyone see this, please explain it to me.
