Nay, do not grieve tho' life be full of sadness, <br />Dawn will not veil her spleandor for your grief, <br />Nor spring deny their bright, appointed beauty <br />To lotus blossom and ashoka leaf. <br /> <br />Nay, do not pine, tho' life be dark with trouble, <br />Time will not pause or tarry on his way; <br />To-day that seems so long, so strange, so bitter, <br />Will soon be some forgotten yesterday. <br /> <br />Nay, do not weep; new hopes, new dreams, new faces, <br />The unspent joy of all the unborn years, <br />Will prove your heart a traitor to its sorrow, <br />And make your eyes unfaithful to their tears.<br /><br />Sarojini Naidu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/transcience/
