 * All Things Must Die:

All Things will Die

Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing

Under my eye; Warmly and broadly the south winds are blowing

Over the sky. One after another the white clouds are fleeting; Every heart this May morning in joyance is beating

Full merrily; Yet all things must die. The stream will cease to flow; The wind will cease to blow; The clouds will cease to fleet; The heart will cease to beat; For all things must die. All things must die. Spring will come never more. O, vanity! Death waits at the door. See! our friends are all forsaking The wine and the merrymaking. We are call’d–we must go. Laid low, very low, In the dark we must lie. The merry glees are still; The voice of the bird Shall no more be heard, Nor the wind on the hill. O, misery! Hark! death is calling While I speak to ye, The jaw is falling, The red cheek paling, The strong limbs failing; Ice with the warm blood mixing; The eyeballs fixing. Nine times goes the passing bell: Ye merry souls, farewell. The old earth Had a birth, As all men know, Long ago. And the old earth must die. So let the warm winds range, And the blue wave beat the shore; For even and morn Ye will never see Thro’ eternity. All things were born. Ye will come never more, For all things must die. || Repetition - repeating of words or phrases for emphasis rhyme - similar sounding words or phrases personification - giving things human traits || =When Doves cry: =  Dig if you will the picture, Of you and I engaged in a kiss. The sweat of your body covers me my darling. Can you my darling, Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a courtyard, An ocean of violets in bloom. Animals strike curious poses, They feel the heat, The heat between me and you.

How can you just leave me standing, Alone in a world so cold ? Maybe I'm just too demanding, Maybe I'm just like my father too bold. Maybe you're just like my mother, She's never satisfied. Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like, When doves cry.

Touch if you will my stomach, Feel how it trembles inside. You've got the butterflies all tied up, Don't make me chase you, Even doves have pride.

How can you just leave me standing, Alone in a world so cold? Maybe I'm just too demanding, Maybe I'm just like my father too bold. Maybe you're just like my mother, She's never satisfied. Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like, When doves cry.
