Life’s deep quench so insatiable,
A trail of unrequited whims,
But dreams dear take a pseudonym,
Time’s stealthy elf not tameable,
All brave plans unattainable,
A tiny seed of hope dormant,
Hidden safe from Fate’s play mordant,
Awaits to burst in vernal bloom,
Saying nay to soothsayer’s doom,
Spouting fragrant hues in torrent.
