"Lost: The Summer" is a short poem that treats the end of the season like a missing friend. The speaker asks where summer has gone, noticing the vanished roses, the withered vines, and the golden-rod edging the hedge. Playful questions give way to quiet longing as the speaker keeps a daily watch at the garden gate. Gentle rhymes and vivid garden images capture the ache of late summer, and a hopeful promise to wait closes the poem.
