ride our ill weather out

The posture of the tree
Shows the prevailing wind;
And ours, long misery
When you are long unkind.

But forward, look, we lean--
Not backward as in doubt--
And still with branches green
Ride our ill weather out.

[Robert Graves, 'Lovers in Winter', from Complete Poems in One Volume]
