Of Days Like This...

 

 Days like this always

Pass far too fast

No bastion can fence in

A shadow cast...

Anticipation

Is bittersweet

Soon its fulfillment

Lies ‘neath our feet...

Who among us

Can keep anything?

Time is Supreme

In its winnowing...

Treasure the measure

Of pleasure lent

For soon the flower

Is hour-bent...

Darling, to wish

Is to waste what is

Let’s taste the mercy

Of days like this
