TIME
A tide
that floweth, but doth never ebb;
A pen that writes, but leaves no written tale;
A loom that weaves, but none can see the web;
A kindly lord with whom no prayers prevail;
A pen that writes, but leaves no written tale;
A loom that weaves, but none can see the web;
A kindly lord with whom no prayers prevail;
A thief who taketh what he cannot use;
A bell that striketh, but we hear no chime;
A friend or foe according as we choose;
Thus may we paint—but who can picture?—Time.
A bell that striketh, but we hear no chime;
