Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky:
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight;
For thou must die.
Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye:
Thy root is ever in its grave,
And thou must die.
Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses.
A box where sweets compacted lie;
My music shows ye have your closes,
And all must die.
Only a sweet and vinuous soul,
Like seasoned timber, never gives;
But though the whole world turn to coal,
Then chiefly lives.
