What shall a man remember <br /> In days when he is old, <br />And Life is a dying ember, <br /> And Fame a story told? <br />Power—that came to leave him? <br /> Wealth—to the wild waves blown? <br />Fame—that came to deceive him? <br /> Ah, no! Sweet Love alone! <br /> <br />Honour, and Wealth, and Power <br /> May all like dreams depart— <br />But Love is a fadeless flower <br /> Whose roots are in the heart.<br /><br />Victor James Daley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-59/
