It is no gift I tender - A.E. Housman

[Larry Robinson]

It is no gift I tender,
  A loan is all I can;
But do not scorn the lender;
  Man gets no more from man.
 
Oh, mortal man may borrow
  What mortal man can lend;
And 'twill not end to-morrow,
  Though sure enough 'twill end.
 
If death and time are stronger,
  A love may yet be strong;
The world will last for longer,
  But this will last for long.
	- A.E. Housman
