TIME PASSETH AWAY WITH ITS PLEASURE AND PAIN, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Time passeth away Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Time; Eternity | ||||||||
Time passeth away with its pleasure and pain. Its garlands of cypress and bay, With wealth and with want, with a balm and a bane. Time passeth away. Eternity cometh to stay, Eternity stayeth to go not again; Eternity barring the way, Arresting all courses of planet or main, Arresting who plan or who pray, Arresting creation : while grand in its wane Time passeth away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IKON: THE HARROWING OF HELL by DENISE LEVERTOV LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR UNABLE TO FIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS 3 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 1 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 2 by HAYDEN CARRUTH WRITING IN THE AFTERLIFE by BILLY COLLINS IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
