The girl in the tea shop <br />Is not so beautiful as she was, <br />The August has worn against her. <br />She does not get up the stairs so eagerly; <br />Yes, she also will turn middle-aged, <br />And the glow of youth that she spread about us <br />As she brought us our muffins <br />Will be spread about us no longer. <br />She also will turn middle-aged.<br /><br />Ezra Pound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-tea-shop/
