Song of a Second April

Sonnets I - XII:
        i -We talk of taxes, and I call you friend;
        ii - Into the golden vessel of great song
        iii - Not with libations, but with shouts and laughter
        iv - Only until this cigarette is ended,
        v - Once more into my arid days like dew,
        vi - No rose that in a garden ever grew,
        vii - When I too long have looked upon your face,
        viii - And you as well must die, beloved dust,
        ix - Let you not say of me when I am old,
        x - Oh, my belovèd, have you thought of this:
        xi - As to some lovely temple, tenantless
        xii - Cherish you then the hope I shall forget
