Classic Poem

I know that you whom I love today
Will sometime pass out of my life,
And all this joy and laughter,
This love that lights my heart
Will be no more,
And I will be left lonely,
As all women.

I know that the glory of this dream
That came like the breath of spring,
All this bloom and beauty,
As of a thousand dawns,
This gladness of meeting lips,
And this great calm of the spirit,
Cannot last forever.

I know that some day I shall walk alone,
Looking with eyes that cannot weep
Upon the future desolate.
