STUDIES.
Slowly roll the wheels of Science
On the flowery ways of Love:
Clogged with sweets, the cheated pedant
Waits, forgetful of remove.
On the flowery ways of Love:
Clogged with sweets, the cheated pedant
Waits, forgetful of remove.
Or like Icarus aspiring
To the nearness of the sun;
See, the waxen wings are melted,
The ambitious race is run!
To the nearness of the sun;
See, the waxen wings are melted,
The ambitious race is run!
Love has neither past nor future
Till thou break its awful vow;
Neither was nor shall be blessèd:
It is one eternal Now.
Till thou break its awful vow;
Neither was nor shall be blessèd:
It is one eternal Now.
