TIME by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: I SAW A HAPPY SPIRIT
Last Line: TIME SMOTE ME ON THE BROW.
Subject(s): DEATH; LIFE; SPIRITUAL LIFE; TIME; DEAD, THE;
I saw a happy Spirit
That wandered among flowers:
Her crown was a rainbow,
Her gown was wove of hours.

She turned with sudden laughter,
@3I was, but am no more!@1
And as I followed after
Time smote me on the brow.
