My oldest force is good as new,
And the fresh rose on yonder thorn
Gives back the bending heavens in dew.”

You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!”

Was all he loved and all he learned;
When he was hit, his body turned
To clumsy dirt before it fell.
And what to say of him, God knows.
Such violence. And such repose.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
