What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow :What are brief? to-day and to-morrow :What are frail ? Spring blossoms and youth :What are deep ? the ocean and truth. 35 Stroke a flint, and there is nothing to admire:.Strike a flint, and forthwith flash out sparks offire. pe^^ ^w^- v^-v-1-; Jl; SI : … There is but one May in the year, And sometimes May is wet and cold ; There is but one May in the yearBefore the year grows old. Yet though it be the chilliest May, With least of sun and most of showers, Its wind and dew, its night and day,Bring up the flowers. 37
