Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Time


This curly childhood of the year,
These days of dancing blood –
Is Spring the proper time for breath
To be resigned for good?

When Summer's face is bright and clear,
And all the trees are green –
Shall I believe the time has come
To creep away unseen?

When Autumn shuffles leaves of gold,
And deals them in one heap –
Must I agree that that's the hour
For everlasting sleep?

And when the world is white with snow,
With Winter in his prime –
I'll still maintain that Death's a fool,
That knows no place or time.
