When on a Summer's Morn, When Snow Lies Deep,  
When Spring comes on, When Summer Comes, 
When Summer's End is Nighing, 
When the Ash-Tree Buds and the Maples, 
When the Brow of June, When the Gulls Come In,

The Year, The Year Hath Reached Its Afternoon,
You Are My Thorn, You believed all was tranquil,
You came, the vernal equinox, You go to the woods,
Young World, You say you love, but with a voice,
You went away in summertime –
these are the poems on Penny's blog
so far.
