TIME, by ANNA MARY ADAMS First Line: When time shall leave this once strong Last Line: Of the deep, still pools of the westward way. | |||
When time shall leave this once strong body weak, Perhaps the disposition then to keep More hours in memory's world with friends of old Who walked our way -- whose vision too will hold Scenes that we love -- may fully compensate For lack of strength to travel in paths new; For there is much of beauty to review Within the life of one who lingers late. There dross is buried in the distant past While gold remains -- oft to prevent a fast When fevered workers through the busy day See not the meaning of their strain and stress; We shall find comfort in the quietness Of the deep, still pools of the westward way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAREWELL TO ARMS by GEORGE PEELE SONG OF THE ENGINE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON PRAYER by ANTON ALEXANDER VON AUERSPERG BEFORE AND AFTER by OLIVER MADOX BROWN |
