“ Is life a reckless carnival?
And are they lost, our golden years?
Ah, no; ah, no; for, long ago,
Ere time could sear, or care could fret,
There was a youth called Romeo,
There was a maid named Juliet.
The players of the past are gone;
The races rise; the races pass ”

“ There lives — though Time should cease to flow,
And stars their courses should forget —
There lives a grey-haired Romeo,
Who loves a golden Juliet.
