Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives

From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever; That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea

Change in a trice. The lilies and languors of virtue. For the raptures and roses of vice;

To say of shame - what is it? Of virtue - we can miss it; Of sin-we can kiss it, And it's no longer sin

Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which

A little soul for a little bears up this corpse which is man.

Pale, beyond porch and portal,/ Crowned with calm leaves, she stands,/ Who gathers all things mortal/ With cold immortal hands.

I am that which began:/ Out of me the years roll;/ Out of me God and man;/ I am equal and whole;/ God changes, and man, and the form of them bodily; I am the soul.

I am tired of tears and laughter,/ And men that laugh and weep;/ Of what may come hereafter/ For men that sow and reap.

While three men hold together, the kingdoms are less by three.

A creed is a rod,/ And a crown is of night:/ But this thing is God:/ To be man with thy might,/ To grow straight in the strength of thy spirit, and live out thy life as the light.

For words divide and rend;/ But silence is most noble till the end.

Glory to Man in the highest! for Man is the master of things.

He weaves, and is clothed with derision;/ Sows, and he shall not reap;/ His life is a watch or a vision/ Between a sleep and a sleep.

Hope thou not much, and fear thou not at all.
