REMAIN, ah not in youth alone! <br /> --Tho' youth, where you are, long will stay-- <br />But when my summer days are gone, <br /> And my autumnal haste away. <br />'Can I be always by your side?' <br /> No; but the hours you can, you must, <br />Nor rise at Death's approaching stride, <br /> Nor go when dust is gone to dust.<br /><br />Walter Savage Landor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remain/
