mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> Not
that you do not care,
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">no, not at all.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">What beauty doesn't rise
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">and fall?
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Sure, I must content
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">and
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">never contend
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">if this is what you give-
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">through
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">your snowing sieve
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">As leaves of the Fall,
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">though coloured,
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">yet must live
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">in your memories
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> cold as ice
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> I live.
