In the Morning of Life
by Thomas MooreIn the morning of life, when its cares are unknown,
And its pleasures in all their new lustre begin,
When we live in a bright-beaming world of our own,
And the light that surrounds us is all from within;
Oh 'tis not, believe me, in that happy time
We can love, as in hours of less transport we may; —
Of our smiles, of our hopes, 'tis the gay sunny prime,
But affection is truest when these fade away.
When we see the first glory of youth pass us by,
Like a leaf on the stream that will never return,
When our cup, which had sparkled with pleasure so high,
First tastes of the other, the dark-flowing urn;
Then, then in the time when affection holds sway
With a depth and a tenderness joy never knew;
Love, nursed among pleasures, is faithless as they,
But the love born of Sorrow, like Sorrow, is true.
In climes full of sunshine, though splendid the flowers,
Their sighs have no freshness, their odour no worth;
\‘Tis the cloud and the mist of our own Isle of showers
That call the rich spirit of fragrancy forth.
So it is not \‘mid splendour, prosperity, mirth,
That the depth of Love's generous spirit appears;
To the sunshine of smiles it may first owe its birth,
But the soul of its sweetness is drawn out by tears.
After many things have been put on hold the last year, some of your favorite artists will be hitting the road once again. Audiences will be able to be entertained yet again, but safely, with new tours, new music, and much more. One such artist is Tinashe. The 28-year-old singer-songwriter is waving goodbye to 2021 and welcoming in 2022 with much more enthusiasm. She released a new album back in August called 333 while performing in various venues all over the country. But she’s in Los Angelos performing at an End of the Year Celebration concert to give her fans something to celebrate.

Tinashe said in a statement to E! News, “It’s kind of like an encore performance to people who missed out but, obviously, we’re going to add some little spice and something fresh for anyone who did get to see the show the first time around. I’m just gonna be incorporating a couple of new songs and obviously some new outfits, maybe adding a couple more dances. We’ll see.” If you have never been to a Tinashe show before, prepare to be amazed. You’ll see amazing outfits styled by Katie Qian, and at least 30 songs to jam out to. Not to mention, the dancing is incredible, after all, she gets inspiration from Janet Jackson and Britney Spears.
Even though performing quarantine shows before was something special for Tinashe, she explained there’s nothing like feeling the energy of the fans in person saying, “There’s some crowd favorites every show. I think ‘X’ is one of the ones that everyone really got excited for. Everyone loves ‘Bouncin’ because I have a trampoline on stage and that one everyone always goes crazy. It was really great just to see everyone’s reactions to different songs in different cities.” Yes, she’s full of talent, and even more so, she decided to become an independent artist. She explained, “If you have a dream or you have something you want to accomplish in life, don’t let setbacks or the media or any potential roadblock that you have in your mind stop you from going after that.”
