Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Love; Youth
Life calls to us, 'O seize the fleeting hour,
For like the leaves Youth's garlands fall away;
The Present only lies within thy power—
Grasp it! or else for evermore delay.
Love's golden harvest hath so brief a day!
O lose not for remote, imagined gain
The precious hours that still to thee remain!
