Quotes

• Gather leaves and grasses,
  Love, to-day;
  For the Autumn passes
  Soon away.
  Chilling winds are blowing.
  It will soon be snowing.
  • Gather Leaves and Grasses, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

• Ah, we fondly cherish
  Faded things
  That had better perish.
  Memory clings
  To each leaf it saves.
  Chilly winds are blowing.
  It will soon be snowing
  On our graves.

  You're a sweet little fool!"
