The Long And Short Of It

They say the longest day's in June, The shortest In December; And yet I cannot think 'tis true, Because, don't you remember How very short those days in June When we two were together, And how the longest days of all Were in the winter weather? Whate'er the almanac may say, No matter what the weather, The days seem long when we're apart, And shortest when together. -Harper's Weekly.
