My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moon's pale ray,
Its hold is frail — its date is brief,
Restless — and soon to pass away!

— Richard H. Wilde

My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shades of evening close,
Is scatter'd on the ground — to die!
