VISION, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I love all things that pass: their briefness is
Last Line: O beauty, born of lovely things that die!'
Subject(s): Transience; Impermanence


I LOVE all things that pass: their briefness is
Music that fades on transient silences.
Winds, birds, and glittering leaves that flare and fall --
They fling delight across the world; they call
To rhythmic-flashing limbs that rove and race...
A moment in the dawn for Youth's lit face;
A moment's passion, closing on the cry --
'O Beauty, born of lovely things that die!'
