The gilded joy, the present hour, Soon wing themselves away; Departing like the fading flower That pleas'd us Yesterday.” MomentsJoyHoursSweetFlowerWingsYesterdayPassingPassingsBlissOur TimeBreezeTransientFadingGildedDepartingVapourPassing Moments Book:Poems on Various Subjects Source: Poems on Various Subjects
