Walter Savage Landor. 1775–1864566. Remain!
| REMAIN, ah not in youth alone! | |
| —Tho’ youth, where you are, long will stay— | |
| But when my summer days are gone, | |
| And my autumnal haste away. | |
| ‘Can I be always by your side?’ | 5 |
| No; but the hours you can, you must, | |
| Nor rise at Death’s approaching stride, | |
| Nor go when dust is gone to dust. |
