For I shall learn from flower and leaf, That color every drop they hold, To change the lifeless wine of grief To living gold.
I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes.
Let this single hour atone For the theft of all of me
It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
Stephen kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall, But Colin only looked at me And never kissed at all. Stephenโs kiss was lost in jest, Robinโs lost in play, But the kiss in Colinโs eyes Haunts me night and day.
