For the blithest bird that sings in spring
Will fit the waning summer;
And lips that we kissed in fondest love
Will smile on the first new conner.
over the breast where lilies rest
In white hands stilled forever,
The roses of June will nod and blow,
Unheeding the hearts that sever,
And lips that quiver in silent grief,
All words of hope refusing,
Will lightly turn TO the fieeting joys
That perish with the using.
Summer blossoms and winter SHOWS,
Love and its sweet elysian;
Hope, like siren dim and fair,
Quickening our faintng vision;
Dropping spirit and fanting pulse
Where untold memories hover;
Eyelids touched with the seal OF death,
And the fitful dream is over.
Belknap will move to California.
