I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air Beyond my heart I need not reach When all is summer there.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

The wind is awake, pretty leave, pretty leaves, Heed not what he says, he deceives, he deceives Over and over To the lowly clover He has lisped the same love (and forgotten it, too). He will be lisping and pledging to you.

A breath, whence no man knows, Swaying the grating weeds, it blows It comes, it grieves, it goes. Once it rocked the summer rose.

If so men's memories not a monument be, None shalt thou have. Warm hearts, and not cold stone, Must mark thy grave, or thou shalt lie, unknown. Marbles keep not themselves how then, keep thee?
