What was is not and never again will be; what is is change."

and if I were a bird, I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive Autumns"

upon the emerald carpet of fading summer"

For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad"

The ghosts of her departed leaves.

The year is old, the birds are flown"
