Moonlight Annotated

It will not hurt me when I am old,
&nbsp A running tide where moonlight burned
&nbsp        &nbsp Will not sting me like silver snakes;
The years will make me sad and cold,
&nbsp        &nbsp It is the happy heart that breaks.

The heart asks more than life can give,
&nbsp When that is learned, then all is learned;
&nbsp       &nbsp The waves break fold on jewelled fold,
But beauty itself is fugitive,
&nbsp       &nbsp It will not hurt me when I am old.
