So in the grave shall we as quiet lie,
But some so like to thorns and nettles live,
And as your leaves lie quiet on the ground,
Fade, Flow'rs! fade, Nature will have it so;
'Tis but what we must in our autumn do!
Miss'd by some few that lov'd our company;
The loss alone by those that lov'd them found;
That none for them can, when they perish, grieve.
