All lovely things will have an ending,
All lovely things will fade and die,
And youth, that's now so bravely spending,
Will beg a penny by and by.

That seemed sheer miracle to the multitude,
protected from the circle of the moon
That pitches common things about.

Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me,
I can feel their blue hands touching me,
All these things into position,
All these things we'll one day swallow whole.
And fade out again,
And fade out...
