"The Flower That Smiles Today"
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The flower that smiles today Tomorrow dies; All that we wish to stay Tempts and then flies; What is this world's delight? Lightning, that mocks the night, Brief even as bright.-- Virtue, how frail it is!-- Friendship, how rare!-- Love, how it sells poor bliss For proud despair! But these though they soon fall, Survive their joy, and all Which ours we call.--
Whilst skies are blue and bright, Whilst flowers are gay, Whilst eyes that change ere night Make glad the day;
Whilst yet the calm hours creep, Dream thou - and from thy sleep Then wake to weep.
