Lord Lytton

Through tall cowslips nodding near you,
Just to touch you as you pass.

Just to touch you as you pass.

The man who seeks one thing in life, and but one,
May hope to achieve it before life be read more

The man who seeks one thing in life, and but one,
May hope to achieve it before life be done;
But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes,
Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows
A harvest of barren regrets.

What's saved affords
No indication of what's lost.

What's saved affords
No indication of what's lost.

'Tis more brave
To live, than to die.

'Tis more brave
To live, than to die.

They only fall, that strive to move,
Or lose, that care to keep.
