When we are old...

Lyrics
When we are old and these rejoicing veins Are frosty channels to a muted stream And out of all our burning their remains No feeblest spark to fire us, even in dream This be our solace: that it was not said When we were young and warm and in our prime Upon our couch we lay as lie the dead Sleeping away the unreturning time O sweet, O heavy-lidded, O my love When morning strikes her spear upon the land And we must rise and arm us and reprove The insolent daylight with a steady hand Be not discountenanced if the knowing know We rose from rapture but an hour ago
