Carpe Diem
Age saw two children
Go loving by the twilight
He knew not whether homeward
Or outward from the village
Or(chimes were ringing)churchward
He waited(they were strangers)
Till they were out of hearing
To bid them both be happy
"Be happy,happy,happy,
And seize the day of pleasure
The age-long thenme is Ages's
Twas Age imposed on poems.
Their gather-roses burden
To warn against the dander
That overtaken lovers
From being overflooded
With happiness should have it.
And yetnow know they have it
But bid life seize t he present?
It lives less in the present
Than in the future always
And less in both together
Than in the past.The present
Is too much for the senses
Too crowding too confusing-
Too present to imagine.
