We are as leaves in jewelled springtime growing That open to the sunlight’s quickening rays: So joy we in our span of youth, unknowing If God shall bring us good or evil days. Two Fates beside thee stand; the one has sorrow, Dull age’s fruit; that other gives the boon Of death , for youth’s fair flower has no tomorrow, And lives but as a sunlit afternoon.
