JVNE
The
rose is in her place to-day,
The nightingale on her old spray;
Come live a moment while you may
Simple as bird and flower!
To-morrow leave, and yesterday!
Count but the actual hour!
The nightingale on her old spray;
Come live a moment while you may
Simple as bird and flower!
To-morrow leave, and yesterday!
Count but the actual hour!
Lock up the chambers of your brain!
Your pencil and your pen refrain!
Your labour shall not give again
The ecstasy of June;
Nor all your schemes for joy or gain
Revive so vast a boon.
Your pencil and your pen refrain!
Your labour shall not give again
The ecstasy of June;
Nor all your schemes for joy or gain
Revive so vast a boon.
