I HAVE MADE FRIENDS WITH TIME
HAVE made friends with time although I have seen His fingers close on many a meek treasure: Friends, although in the time of the dark visit There was no silver word of recompense. IME makes no contract, softens with no pledge The onset of events, but like the seasons His moods return so that to-day lies A petted lover but to-morrow dies. ET I have made friends with time, ‘" Having taken his cloud-burst of pain As earth takes the rain, And in the threatening twilight Have been as an evening lark in whose throat Day lingers though lost over the mountains, RIENDS with time although He brings death like a blow, For I shall no more walk with mystery ‘Speaking but telling nothing like the sea, No more be wistful with winds, No more with the necessity of the lark Publish the day to the dark eeee AND all this At the turn of the road, Or beyond the e hills.
