Between the budding and the falling leaf
Stretch happy skies:
With colors and sweet cries
OF mating birds in uplanls AMI in glades
Tn world is rife.
Then on a sudden all the music dies,
The color fades.
How f~ugitiv. and brief
Is mortal life
Between the budding and the falling leaf
o short-breathed music, dying on the tongue
Ere half the mystic c~anticle be sung!
q harp of life, SO speedily uustrungi
Who, if 'twere his to choose, would know
again
The bitter sweetness of the lost refrain,
Its rapture, an its pain?
