TIME AND LOVE, by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN Poet's Biography First Line: Time hobbles, but love flies Last Line: To heaven without you. Subject(s): Love; Time | ||||||||
TIME hobbles, but Love flies; One moment, say the wise, They pass together: Not Cupid's curls of gold But Time's grey forelock hold, A trusty tether. For Time, once safely caught, Is servant to your thought For ever after; But wanton Love will snip The curl you hold, and trip Away with laughter. Yet if my hint you heed, With all his craft and speed, He ne'er shall flout you; Catch Cupid by the wing, For then he cannot spring To Heaven without you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELEVEN EYES: FINAL SECTION by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: COME OCTOBER by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN SLOWLY: I FREQUENTLY SLOWLY WISH by LYN HEJINIAN ALL THE DIFFICULT HOURS AND MINUTES by JANE HIRSHFIELD A DAY IS VAST by JANE HIRSHFIELD FROM THIS HEIGHT by TONY HOAGLAND A LETTER by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN |
