Sit down, sad soul, and count The moments flying; Come, tell the sweet amount That's lost by sighing!

How many smiles?--a score?

Then laugh, and count no more; For day is dying.

Lie down sad soul, and sleep, And no more measure The flight of time, nor weep The loss of leisure; But here by this lone stream, Lie down with us, and dream Of starry treasure.

Bryan Waller Procter.

Grief will not carry you one step into real nature; grief can teach me nothing.
