So, we'll go no more a roving

So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a roving
By the light of the moon.

George Gordon, Lord Byron

Manchmal muss es ein englisches Gedicht sein, wenn es so gut passt und ich kein deutsches Äquivalent gefunden habe ;-)

    Eheu nos miseros, quam totus homunico nil est! sic erimus cuncti postquam nos auferet Orcus.
    (Ach wir Armen! Wie ist doch das ganze Menschlein ein Nichts! So werden wir alle sein, wenn uns der Orkus verschlungen hat.)
