Bouguereau's Birth of Venus
the World is not yet old
though old enough

& World is changing ever
but tough!

When it is the Spring
brightly! (&) birds on the wing

high above the sunset

& higher & higher than Mind can get

& higher again

the constant pain
(although it endures
it is not yours)

for O if World begins to end
prematurely

we'll all join hands!

in chaos surely
