Classic and Contemporary Poetry

SONG by RICHARD WATSON GILDER

First Line: YEARS HAVE FLOWN SINCE I KNEW THEE FIRST
Last Line: AND THOU ART STRANGE TO ME, LOVE, TONIGHT.
Subject(s): TIME;
Years have flown since I knew thee first,
And I know thee as water is known of thirst;
Yet I knew thee of old at the first sweet sight,
And thou art strange to me, Love, tonight.
