Let time

Let time

Let time in its winsome sphere

Gather what it will

But leave its joyful pleasures here

Let time in its cruel cascade

Drain the youth from the chalice

But leave the best of the parade

Let time with its driest deserts

Lap up the fountains of love

But leave the healing of all hurts

For time

Heals all wounds

Gives memories to enjoy

And dispels gifts of joy

It may not be the enemy we think

When we stand outside its door

And from eternity’s cup we drink
