If we shadows have offended$$$<br/>
Think but this$$$ and all is mended:<br/>
That you have but slumbered here$$$<br/>
While these visions did appear;<br/>
And this weak and idle theme$$$<br/>
No more yielding but a dream$$$<br/>
Gentles$$$ do not reprehend.<br/>
If you pardon$$$ we will mend.

With so many trees in the city$$$ you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. This was the only truly sad time in Paris because it was unnatural. You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold$$$ wintry light.
