So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Poems about summer
Ode to the West Wind （西风颂） by PB shelly（雪莱）
I’ve saved some sunlight If you should ever need A place away from darkness Where your mind can feed.
And for myself I’ve kept your smile When you were but nineteen, Till you’re older you’ll not know What brave young smiles can mean.
I know no answers To help you on your way The answers lie somewhere At the bottom of the day.
But if you’ve a need for love I’ll give you all I own It might help you down the road Till you’ve found your own.
