The Bourne

Topics: classic

Underneath the growing grass,         Underneath the living flowers,         Deeper than the sound of showers:         There we shall not count the hours     By the shadows as they pass.     Youth and health will be but vain,         Beauty reckoned of no worth:         There a very little girth         Can hold round what once the earth     Seemed too narrow to contain.
