Ah, God, that sweet things should decline,
More quotes by Ernest Dowson
O pray the earth enfold
Our life-sick hearts and turn them into dust.
Yea! for our roses fade, the world is wild,
But there, beside the altar, there, is rest.
I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng.
