TIME'S REMOTEST HOUR, by                    
First Line: Time annihilates most grief and tears
Last Line: When death will rob us of each other's power!
Subject(s): Time


Time annihilates most grief and tears,
and lends enchantment to the dearest things.
Whatever darkness dwells in future years
I mock with song that daily sweeter sings.
The sun's now lengthy radiance walks with me
throughout the purple night at day's decease.
Though bread is frugal and spare drink there be,
your spirit's strength will ever lend me peace.
No loneliness can rob my solitude
of triumph or its sweet tranquility.
No heart can know the gratitude imbued
for having known a deep humility ...
an armor for the sad remotest hour
when death will rob us of each other's power!
