I wish the best for
Thee, and all that life may bring.
And thy life shine bright.
And despair for thee
If thou shouldst sorely grieve me
In thy deep despair.
I wish the best for
Thee, and all that life may bring.
And thy life shine bright.
And despair for thee
If thou shouldst sorely grieve me
In thy deep despair.
To this, resistant
Candidly am I this day;
One will be destroyed;
And built in its place,
Something finer and wiser
Than philosophers.
What is real to thee
So real does it ever seem,
May be a phantom.
Take care this realness
Is not a dagger with which
To slay thine own soul
Could you see in Spring
what I have seen in Summer,
you might have chosen
fulfilment in life
in Fall to better yourself.
And then, looking back,
you might even see
how desolate in Winter
your life might have been,
if you had never
made that fateful decision
on one Spring morning.
