Steal Forth with Silent Drums


"I know I am but summer to your heart,
And not the full four seasons of the year;

...And I have loved you all too long and well
To carry still the high sweet breast of spring

...Wherefore I say: O love, as summer goes,
I must be gone, steal forth with silent drums."

--Edna St. Vincent Millay
