brittle beauty - imogen holst lyrics

Loading...

brittle beauty that nature made so frail
whereof the gift is small, and short the season
flow’ring to*day, to*morrow apt to fail
tickle treasure, abhorrèd of reason;
dangerous to deal with, vain, of none avail
costly in keeping, past not worth two peason
slipper in sliding, as in an eelës tail
hard to obtain, once gotten, not geason;
jewel of jeopardy that peril doth assail
false and untrue, enticèd oft to treason
enemy to youth; that most may i bewail
ah, bitter sweet, infecting as the poison
thou fairest as fruit that with the frost is taken
to*day ready ripe, to*morrow all to*shaken
