A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love; The world is waiting for the spring |
And taken in exchange - my youth. |
Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break. |
I found more joy in sorrow than you could find in joy |
I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes. |
I shall make the most of all that comes: And the least of all that goes |
I shall make the most of all that comes: And the least of all that goes |
It is strange how often a heart must be broken before the years can make it wise |
It is strange how often a heart must be broken before the years can make it wise |
It is strange how often a heart must be broken before the years can make it wise |
Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup. |
Life is a frail moth flyingCaught in the web of the years that pass. |
Life is but thought. |
Moon, worn thin to the width of a quill,/ In the dawn clouds flying,/ How good to go, light into light, and still/ Giving light, dying. |
No one worth possessing - Can be quite possessed |
