They are not long
Vitae summa brevisspem nos vetat incohare longam.
(“The shortness of life prevents us from entertaining far-off hopes”, Horace)
1 They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
2 Love and desire and hate:
3 I think they have no portion in us after
4 We pass the gate.
5 They are for long, the days of wine and roses;
6 Out of a misty dream
7 Our path emerges for a while, then closes
8 Within a dream
