WET Day, so cool. so calm, SO bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky;
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,
For thou must die.
Sweet Rose, whose hue, angry and
brave,
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye,
Thy root is ever In its grave,
And thou must die.
Sweet Spring. full of sweet days and
roses.
A box where sweets compacted lie.
Thy music shows ye have your closes,
And all must die.
Only sweet and virtuous soul
Like seasoned timber never gives.
But. though the whole world turn to
Then chiefly lives.

With mirth and laughter and with
