IN ACCOUNT WITH TIME
Time cannot grudge to me
The few glad hours I spend—
Glad hours of rare companionship—
In converse with my friend.
The few glad hours I spend—
Glad hours of rare companionship—
In converse with my friend.
My friend thus counsels me:
‘Be it with Time agreed
That thou wilt in my company
Seek rest when thou hast need.’
‘Be it with Time agreed
That thou wilt in my company
Seek rest when thou hast need.’
Sweet words (if words could soften
The pain of parting)—‘May
I come indeed as often
As I have need?’ I say.

I come indeed as often
As I have need?’ I say.
‘Time cannot grudge to me
The sure release from pain
I have in thy sweet ministry
Of solace to my brain.’
