by walter clyde curry - grieve not lyrics

Loading...

grieve not that winter masks the yet quick earth
nor still that summer walks the hills no more;
that fickle spring has doffed the plaid she wore
to swathe herself in napkins till rebirth

these buddings, flowerings, are nothing worth;
this ermine cloud stretched firm across the lakes
will presently be shattered into flakes;
then, starveling world, be subject to my mirth

i know that faithful swift mortality
subscribes to nothing longer than a day;
all beauty signals imminent decay;
and painted wreckage c-mbers land and sea

i laugh to hear a sniveling wise one say
“some winnowed self escapes this reckless way.”
