Maiden, that read’st this simple rhyme, Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay; Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime, For oh, it is not always May!
from It Is Not Always May by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Sometimes it is hard not to lament the passing of time…

A moment only he feels the spell
Of the place and the hour, and the secret dread
Of the lonely belfry and the dead;
from The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The spirits of the dead swirled all around me on my walk today.

For after all, the best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It is raining on my birthday! No matter, at dawn I awoke to a candlelit hot tub in a treetop hut and later I walked under the canopy of the redwood tress along a ravine.
