The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
MEMENTO MORI.
Poor the pleasureDoled out by measure,
Sweet tho' it be, while brief
As falling of the leaf;
Poor is pleasure
By weight and measure.
112
Which ends tomorrow;
Sharp tho' it be and sore,
It ends for evermore:
Zest of sorrow,
What ends tomorrow.
