Then drift like a boat down one of her streams

With our cargo of hopes and dreams.

So many have come and gone,

Have done the things which we two have done:

Have leaned in revery sweet and solemn,

Hands laced, on the sundial's column:

Have found their three months as brief

As the life of a blade of grass, a leaf—

As eternal, too, as the leafage is

Have found their three months of bliss.
