Well I know now
Where the frost-web window went
How the bankrupt solstice spent
What the widowed winter leant

And as the Night devours
The seeds of soiled flowers
The sun in cloud-shrouds cowers
So I know how

Don't know what age you were when you wrote this, but the first stanza is stunning for a piece of juvenilia. The second stanza falls very much flat by comparison. Maybe re-use the first one in something else, or re-write the second stanza?
