Do Not Say That Life Is Waning.

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