Counts death kind Nature's signal of retreat.
Seite 290 - My eyes are dim with childish tears, My heart is idly stirred ; For the same sound is in my ears Which in those days 1 heard. " Thus fares it still in our decay ; And yet the wiser mind Mourns less for what age takes away Than what it leaves behind.
