O brightening glance,

And say my glory was I had such friends.

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read ...

And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

William Butler Yeats

Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles life.
