Do not say that life is waning,
Or hope's sweet day is set;
While I've thee and remaining,
Life is in the horizon yet.
Do think those charms are flying,
Tho' thy roses and fall;
Beauty hath a grace undying,
Which thee survives them all.
Not for charms, the newest, brightest,
That on other cheeks may shine,
Would I the least, the slightest.
That is lingering now o'er thine.
