• You could carry your burdens lightly or with great effort. You could worry about tomorrow or not. You could imagine horrible fates or garland-filled tomorrows.

• When May, with cowslip-braided locks,
  Walks through the land in green attire.
  And burns in meadow-grass the phlox
  His torch of purple fire:
  And when the punctual May arrives,
  With cowslip-garland on her brow,
  We know what once she gave our lives,
  And cannot give us now!
