Description

Spring in Savannah, Georgia, "All Lovely Things" inspired by Conrad Aiken famous poet.

All lovely things will have an ending,
All lovely things will fade and die,
And youth, that's now so bravely spending,
Will beg a penny by and by.

Fine ladies soon are all forgotten,
And goldenrod is dust when dead,
The sweetest flesh and flowers are rotten
And cobwebs tent the brightest head.

Come back, true love! Sweet youth, return!--
But time goes on, and will, unheeding,
Through hands will reach, and eyeswill yearn,
And the wild days set true hearts bleeding.

Come back, true love! Sweet youth, remain!--
But goldenrod and daises wither,
And over the blows autumn rain,
They pass, they pass, and know not whither.
