Poem "Days of Wine and Roses" by Ernest Dowson

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:

Out of a misty dream

Our path emerges for a while, then closes

Within a dream.

– Ernest Dowson, from "Vitae Summa Brevis" (1896).

I got the poem from this page:

My thoughts tonight

I feel very miserable tonight.      

I feel like I want to die.  

But I don't really want to die.

I want to live! I want to live! I want to live!!!
