Alas that youth is fleet
Swfter than age is swif. :
That dearest hopes have winged feet,
And loves transient gift,
AS shadowy as sweet
SO kiss we while we may.
While lips are still atire.
For all too surely creeps n day
When fades the dear desire
To ashes cold and gray.
Too surely comes the night
When the star of love shall set,
And y the 81 bitter tier, snow Of time lie white.
The old beloved delight.
