One thing comes And another thing goes; Frosts in November Drive away the rose; Like a blowing ember ... The windflower blows And drives away the snows. It is sad to remember And sorrowful to pray; Let us laugh and be merry, Who have seen today The last of the cherry And the first of the may; And neither one will stay.
