TIME PASSETH AWAY WITH ITS PLEASURE AND PAIN, by                 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.
