R. A. LEDWARD, SCULPTOR
Mark how with loving hand he wrought
Here on the dial that counts the hours
Thy sad great figure, wingèd Time,
Set heavy-hearted 'mid the flowers.
Here on the dial that counts the hours
Thy sad great figure, wingèd Time,
Set heavy-hearted 'mid the flowers.
Ah, even while he wrought did he
Close a great bargain with the years
The sooner with these flowers to be
That for their nurture have thy tears.
