“Virtue”<\/p>\n
“Sweet day, so calm so bright!<\/p>\n
The bridal of the earth and sky–<\/p>\n
The dew shall weep thy fall to-night;<\/p>\n
For thou must die.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave<\/p>\n
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye,<\/p>\n
Thy root is ever in its grave,<\/p>\n
And thou must die.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses,<\/p>\n
A box where sweets compacted Be,<\/p>\n
My music shows ye have your closes,<\/p>\n
And all must die.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Only a sweet and virtuous soul,<\/p>\n
Like season’d timber, never gives;<\/p>\n
But though the whole world turns to coal,<\/p>\n
Then chiefly lives.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 George Herbert.<\/p>\n
