Fate's a fiddler, Life's a dance.

O, it's die we must, but it's live we can,
And the marvel of earth and sun
Is all for the joy of woman and man
And the longing that makes them one.

Who but knows
How it goes!
Life's a last year's rose.

Night with her train of stars / And her great gift of sleep.

Open your heart and take us in,
Love -- love and me.

The sun,
Closing his benediction,
Sinks, and the darkening air
Thrills with a sense of triumphing night--

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

Far in the stillness a cat
Languishes loudly.

What is to come we know not. But we know
That what has been was good -- was good to show,
Better to hide, and best of all to bear.
We are the masters of the days that were;
We have lived, we have loved, we have suffered . . . even so.

So be my passing!
My task accomplished and the long day done,
My wages taken, and in my heart
Some late lark singing,
Let me be gathered to the quiet west,
The sundown splendid and serene,
Death.

In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud: Under the bludgeoning of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed.

In the quiet eve
I am loitering, longing, dreaming . . .
Dreaming, and a distant organ
Pipes me ditties.

As dust that drives, as straws that blow,
Into the night go one and all.

There falls on the old, gray city
An influence luminous and serene
A shining peace.

The Spirit of Wine
Sang in my glass, and I listened
With love to his odorous music,
His flushed and magnificent song.
