To venerate the simple days

---

To venerate the simple days

   Which lead the seasons by,

Needs but to remember

   That from you or me

They may take the trifle

   Termed mortality!

---

To invest existence with a stately air,

Needs but to remember

   That the acorn there

Is the egg of forests

   For the upper air!
