Have You Found Your Life Distasteful? My Life Did, And Does, Smack Sweet.

Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did, and does, smack sweet.
Was your youth of pleasure wasteful?
Mine I saved and hold complete.
Do your joys with age diminish?
When mine fail me, I 'll complain.
Must in death your daylight finish?
My sun sets to rise again.
-- Robert Browning (1812-1890)
-- At the "Mermaid, " Stanza 10
