"SUN AND SHADOW AND WINDS OF SPRING"

Sun and shadow and winds of spring,
Love and laughter and hope and fame,
Cloud and storm-light over the hills,
Tears and passion and sordid shame:

All, all are but as quenchèd fire
And vanish'd smoke to him that lies
Amid the silence of the trees
Under the silence of the skies.
