FLEETER than a tone scarce born <br />That melts away, <br />Sweeter than a dream of morn <br />That shuns the day, <br />Swifter than a rainbow fading out of sight: <br />Sucked away as dewdrops by the burning light; <br />Or like birds or blossoms, takest thou thy flight-- <br />Sunbeam of delight.<br /><br />Mathilde Blind<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/delight-6/
