EX AETATE by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY

First Line: NOT FOR MORE HOURS OF BLISS I MAKE DEMAND
Last Line: OF SUNSHINE, CERTAIN MEMORY OF THEM.
Subject(s): LIFE; SUMMER;
Not for more hours of bliss I make demand,
O life! So many thou hast flung with hand
Of summer. Grant instead for winter's hem
Of sunshine, certain memory of them.
