THE GOAL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Silent and very swift on spiry round
Last Line: Would'st check his tale to tell him speed and speed.
Subject(s): Time


SILENT and very swift on spiry round
Fares Time, thy charioteer, and dost thou blame
His silence and his swiftness? Yet indeed
If rein he drew to teach thee whither bound,
At the first word, perchance—at the first name—
Would'st check his tale to tell him speed and speed.
