Remain!

Walter Savage Landor

Remain, ah not in youth alone!
  —Tho’ youth, where you are, long will stay—
But when my summer days are gone,
  And my autumnal haste away.
‘Can I be always by your side?‘
  No; but the hours you can, you must,
Nor rise at Death’s approaching stride,
  Nor go when dust is gone to dust.
