Remembrance.
1. Swifter far than summer's flight - Swifter far than youth's delight - Swifter far than happy night, Art thou come and gone - As the earth when leaves are dead, As the night when sleep is sped, As the heart when joy is fled, I am left lone, alone. 2. The swallow summer comes again - The owlet night resumes her reign - But the wild-swan youth is fain To fly with thee, false as thou. - My heart each day desires the morrow; Sleep itself is turned to sorrow; Vainly would my winter borrow Sunny leaves from any bough. 3. Lilies for a bridal bed - Roses for a matron's head - Violets for a maiden dead - Pansies let MY flowers be: On the living grave I bear Scatter them without a tear - Let no friend, however dear, Waste one hope, one fear for me.
