Which the wise know well, and even have learned to bear.
This joy, I know,
Will soon be under snow.
The sun sets in a cloud
And is not seen.
Beauty, that spoke aloud,
Addresses now only the

To feed on what has been.
Night falls fast.
Today is in the past.
Blown from the dark hill hither to
my door
Three flakes, then four
Arrive, then many more.
- "Not so far as the forest," by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
