All beauteous things for which we liveBy laws of time and space decay.But oh, the very reason whyI clasp them, is because they die.
Jolly boating weather, / And a hay harvest breeze, / Blade on the feather, / Shade off the trees.
They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead, / They brought me bitter news to hear, and bitter tears to shed.
Your chilly stars I can forgo,This warm kind world is all I know.
