Days of Wine and Roses

 

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
      Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
      We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
      Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
      Within a dream.

— Ernest Dowson
