Spring and Fall: to a Young Child

Natalie Merchant:

The original poem here

By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you wíll weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sórrow’s spríngs áre the same.
— From Spring and Fall: To A Young Child,
— Gerard Manley Hopkins
