A bee circles a clover,
A fisherman mends a glimmering net.”

The Golden Hynde and Other Poems (1914)
Context: Heart of my heart, we cannot die!
Love triumphant in flower and tree,
Every life that laughs at the sky
Tells us nothing can cease to be:
One, we are one with the song to-day,
One with the clover that scents the world,
One with the Unknown, far away,
One with the stars, when earth grows old.
“And so all things time will mend,
So this song will end.”
David Gilmour
(1946) guitarist, singer, best known as a member of Pink Floyd
"Childhood's End", on Obscured by Clouds (1972)
Context: Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why
Some are born, some men die,
Beneath one infinite sky?
There'll be war, there'll be peace,
But everything one day will cease,
All the iron turned to rust,
All the proud men turned to dust,
And so all things time will mend,
So this song will end.
“Unreal friendship may turn to real
But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended”
