TIME MENDS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Time mends a ruined wall as well
Last Line: Are singing vernal orisions.
Subject(s): Healing; Nature; Repairing; Time; Cures; Mending


Time mends a ruined wall as well
As hands can ever hope to do;
A gap is covered with laurel,
Where yesterday the cows went through.

And spring can cover the debris
Along the brooks when the snow goes,
With violets a jubilee,
And bursting bud ends turning rose.

And though there is no hope of bird,
Singing where the freshet runs,
Twenty, though it seem absurd,
Are singing vernal orisions.
