To D. C.
Shall tears be shed because the blossoms fall,Because the cloudy cherry slips away,And leaves its branches in a leafy thrallTill ruddy fruits do hang upon the spray?Shall tears be shed because the youthful bloomAnd all th’excess of early life must fadeFor larger wealth of joy in smaller roomTo dwell contained in love of man and maid?Nay, rather leap, O heart, to see fulfilledIn certain joy th’uncertain promised glee,To have so many mountain torrents spilledFor one fair river moving to the sea.
Shall tears be shed because the blossoms fall,
Because the cloudy cherry slips away,
And leaves its branches in a leafy thrall
Till ruddy fruits do hang upon the spray?
Shall tears be shed because the youthful bloom
And all th’excess of early life must fade
For larger wealth of joy in smaller room
To dwell contained in love of man and maid?
Nay, rather leap, O heart, to see fulfilled
In certain joy th’uncertain promised glee,
To have so many mountain torrents spilled
For one fair river moving to the sea.
