Not Since the Days of Cyrus

Not since the days of Cyrus
do they never cease to tire us
with dire news of a deadly virus.

Now we hear the young retort:
'Life is passing, life's too short
to renounce all fun and sport.

When this visitation's over
 I hope once more to be a rover
on rolling hills and fields of clover.
