Mutability

（单词翻译:单击）

We are the clouds that veil the midnight moon；

    How restlessly they speed， and gleam， and quiver，

    Streaking1 the darkness radiantly！——yet soon

    Night closes round， and they are lost forever：

    Or like forgotten lyres， whose dissonant2 strings3

    Give various response to each varying blast，

    To whose frail4 frame no second motion brings

    One mood or modulation5 like the last.

    We rest.——A dream has power to poison sleep；

    We rise.——One wandering thought pollutes the day；

    We feel， conceive or reason， laugh or weep；

    Embrace fond foe6， or cast our cares away：

    It is the same！——For， be it joy or sorrow，

    The path of its departure still is free：

    Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow；

    Nought7 may endure but Mutability.
