First Line: The time will come, when thy beloved face

Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth
Subject(s): Regret; Transience; Impermanence
The time will come, when thy beloved face
Shall lose the spring, with which it now is clad;
When thou art old, thou in some secret place
Wilt sit, and think of all the wrongs I had:
Then wilt thou read these my unpolish'd plaints,
The chronicles of my unpitied cries;
When thou art old, perhaps thy heart shall faint
For shame, and let one tear forsake thy eyes;
I know thou wilt, and ere thy sun expire
His glorious date, thou wilt recall thy ire.
