WHEN TIME STANDS STILL, by                    
First Line: When time's swift flight
Last Line: Upon a world of summer skies!
Subject(s): Time


When Time's swift flight
Is suddenly stopped short
By Sorrow's hand
And stands quite still,
My heart has learned to say:

The poignant pain of yesterday
Has passed; and these gray days
That linger dull and endless,
These, too, will soon pass by,
Like requiem of winter rain:

And I shall look in glad surprise
Upon a world of summer skies!
