Thou keep'st thy rose-leaf <br />Till the rose-time will be over, <br />Think'st thou that Death will kiss thee? <br />Think'st thou that the Dark House <br />Will find thee such a lover <br />As I? Will the new roses miss thee? <br /> <br />Prefer my cloak unto the cloak of dust <br />'Neath which the last year lies, <br />For thou shouldst more mistrust <br />Time than my eyes.<br /><br />Ezra Pound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cloak-2/
