TIME THE DESTROYER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: TIME BEARS OFF UPON HIS WING
Last Line: THOU WHO DOST MY LOVE FORGET
Subject(s): TROY;

TIME bears off upon his wing
Both the swallow and the Spring;
Life and many a wasted day,
All things fade like smoke away;
Not a joy, not a hope can stay,
Nor I who love thee so, nor yet
Thou who dost my love forget.
