Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The ______ of the earth and sky:
The dew shall weep ______ fall to-night;
For thou must die.
Sweet rose, ______ hue angry and brave
Bids the rash gazer wipe ______ eye:
Thy root is ever in its grave,
______ thou must die.
Sweet spring, full of sweet days ______ roses,
A box where sweets compacted lie;
My music ______ ye have your closes,
And all must die.
______ a sweet and virtuous soul,
Like season'd timber, never gives;
But though the whole world turn to coal,
______ chiefly lives.
