Слушать(AI)I Shall Forget You Presently My Dear
I shall forget you presently, my dear,
So make the most of this, your little day,
Your little month, your little half a year,
Ere I forget, or die, or move away,
And we are done forever; by and byI shall forget you, as I said, but now,
If you entreat me with your loveliest lieI will protest you with my favorite vow.
I would indeed that love were longer-lived,
And oaths were not so brittle as they are,
But so it is, and nature has
To struggle on without a break thus far,--Whether or not we find what we are
Is idle, biologically speaking.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
