Hours fly,
Flowers die:
New days,
New ways:
Pass by!
Love stays.
In his heart
A flock of birds crying.
In his belly
The new grass growing.
Friend, praise the new;
The old is fled:
Vivat FROU-FROU!
QUEEN ANNE is dead!
"And still go questing
New things and thinkers,
And keep as busy
As twenty tinkers.
She sought a new couch
As the eve grew dim,
But at morning she ever
Returned to him.
So doth a second life begin For him who doth not quail;
New streams of comfort flow within,
Though the old fountains fail:
And in the seeming waste new flowers upspring,
New trees their calm cool shade beside the waters fling.
