All my life with sorrow strewing;
Wed or cease to woo.

Alas! to seize the moment
When the heart inclines to heart,
And press a suit with passion,

The roses where they stand,
They fade among their foliage,
They cannot seek his hand.

And what men say of her they mean
No more than on the thing they lean.
