| NO, my own love of other years! | |
| No, it must never be. | |
| Much rests with you that yet endears, | |
| Alas! but what with me? | |
| Could those bright years o’er me revolve | 5 |
| So gay, o’er you so fair, | |
| The pearl of life we would dissolve | |
| And each the cup might share. | |
| You show that truth can ne’er decay, | |
| Whatever fate befalls; | 10 |
| I, that the myrtle and the bay | |
| Shoot fresh on ruin’d walls. | |
