Yesterday is History,
'Tis so far away —
Yesterday is Poetry —
'Tis Philosophy —
Yesterday is mystery —
Where it is Today
While we shrewdly speculate
Flutter both away

You cannot make Remembrance grow |
You cannot put a Fire out — |
You cannot take itself |
You constituted Time — |
|
You know that Portrait in the Moon — |
You left me — Sire — two Legacies — |
You love me — you are sure — |
