William Kerr Forget Poems
- 1. The Audit
Mere living wears the most of life away:
Even the lilies take thought for many things,
For frost in April and for drought in May,
And from no careless heart the skylark sings.

When they are gone, and nothing's left behind
But a vague music of the words they said
And a fast-fading image in the mind?
