Every 10th word

A dew sufficed itself
 And satisfied a leaf,
felt, 'how vast a destiny!
 How trivial is life!'

The sun went out to work,
 The went out to play,
But not again that dew seen
 By physiognomy.

Whether by day abducted,
  emptied by the sun
Into the sea, in passing,
 Eternally unknown.
