Đừng cho cuộc sống lụi tàn Do not say that life is waning

Do not say that life is waning

Do not say that life is waning,
Or that hope’s sweet day is set;
While I’ve thee and love remaining,
Life is in the horizon yet.

Do not think those charms are flying,
Tho’ thy roses fade and fall;
Beauty hath a grace undying,
Which in thee survives them all.

Not for charms, the newest, brightest,
That on other cheeks may shine,
Would I change the least, the slightest.
That is lingering now o’er thine.
