By William Drummond (1585–1649)

Change should breed Change

 
            NEW doth the sun appear;
            The mountains’ snows decay;
Crowned with frail flowers comes forth the baby year.
            My soul, time posts away;
            And thou yet in that frost,        5
            Which flower and fruit hath lost,
As if all here immortal were, doth stay!
