ROMANCERO: BOOK 3. HEBREW MELODIES: INTRODUCTION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: O let the days of thy life pass not
Last Line: But down in the valley.
Subject(s): Fortune; Life


O LET the days of thy life pass not
Without tasting life's blisses;
And if thou'rt shelter'd from the shot,
Let it fly, for it misses.

If fortune should ever be passing thy way,
To grasp her, forth sally;
Don't build on the summit thy cottage, I pray,
But down in the valley.
