“Margaret, are you grieving/ Over Goldengrove unleaving?/ Leaves, Like the things of man, you/ With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?/ Ah! As the heart grows older/ It will come to such sights colder/ By and by, nor spare a sigh/ Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;/ And yet you will weep and know why./ Now no matter, child, the name/ Sorrow’s springs are the same./ Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed/ What heart heard of, ghost guessed:/ It is the blight man was born for,/ It is Margaret you mourn for.”
Gerard Manley Hopkins
“Spring and Fall: To a Young Child”
“All Things Must Pass”
~ George Harrison
