First Line: Like an old man's face confounded
Last Line: Fade away from men's minds quickly.
Subject(s): Flowers; Love; Transience; Impermanence
LIKE an old man's face confounded
Is the sky so broad and airy,
Red, one-eyed, and close surrounded
By the grey clouds' locks all hairy.
When upon the earth it gazes,
Flower and bud grow pale and sickly;
Love and song in all their phases
Fade away from men's minds quickly.
