It was a night of early spring,
The winter-sleep was scarcely broken;
Around us shadows and the wind
Listened for what was never spoken.
Though half a score of years are gone,
Spring comes as sharply now as then

But we have lived enough to know
That what we never have, remains;
It is the things we have that go. — Sara Teasdale
