Did I live the spring Id sought?Its true in joy, I walked along,took part in dance, and sang the song.and never tried to bind an hourto my borrowed garden bower;nor did I once entreata day to slumber at my feet.Yet days arent lulled by lyric song,like morning birds they pass along,oer crests of trees, to none belong;oer crests of trees of drying dew,their larking flight, my hands, eschewThus Ill say it once and trueFrom all that I saw, and everywhere I wandered,I learned that time cannot be spent,It only can be squandered.
