OF TIME, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Let us use it whilst we may
Last Line: Love may return, but never lover.
Variant Title(s): Of Beauty
Subject(s): Beauty; Time; Transience; Impermanence


LET us use it whilst we may;
Snatch those joys that haste away.
Earth her winter coat may cast,
And renew her beauty past:
But, our winter come, in vain
We solicit spring again:
And when our furrows snow shall cover,
Love may return, but never lover.
