LOVE AND TIME, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Recitation Poet's Biography
First Line: I said, love laughs at time
Last Line: We will have lived -- long years that seemed as one!
Subject(s): Love; Time
First Line: I said, love laughs at time
Last Line: We will have lived -- long years that seemed as one!
Subject(s): Love; Time
I SAID, "Love laughs at Time," before I knew
The perfect joy of wholly loving you;
So swift the days went hurrying to that Day
When we were one -- Love swept us on the way.
But now -- Time laughs at Love; for swifter yet
Speed years that seem as hours! The sun will set,
The final curtain fall, our lives be done;
We will have lived -- long years that seemed as one!
