English (original)

You have made The cement of your churches out of tears And ashes, and the fabric will not stand.

— Edwin Arlington Robinson

I shall have more to say when I am dead.

The gods are growing old; The stars are singing Golden hair to gray Green leaf to yellow leaf,—or chlorophyl To xanthophyl, to be more scientific.

Oh for a poet - for a beacon bright

No matter what we are, and what we sing, Time finds a withered leaf in every laurel

He was himself and he had lost the speed He started with, and he was left behind.

We are young And we are friends of time.
