Youth, like the spring, will soon be gone

Youth, like the spring
Soon will be gone
By fleeting time or conqu'ring death
Your morning sun
May set at noon
And leave you ever in the dark
Your sparkling eyes
And glowing cheeks
Must wither like the blasted rose
The coffin, earth, and winding sheet
Will soon your active limbs enclose
