ADMONITION, by                    
First Line: We cherish the things that pass
Last Line: Never knowledge.
Subject(s): Advice; Beauty


We cherish the things that pass
And give them our life.

Be tender of the flowers instead,
Not of praises.
Hold the flame of the sunset:
The enduring.

For if aught of earth remain
For the final dreaming,
It will be the curve of a bird's flight --
Never knowledge.
