TRANSITION by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: YOU WHO BROUGHT MY HEART DEFEAT
Last Line: ALL YOUR CHILDHOOD THRO' SO FAST.
Subject(s): CHANGE;

YOU who brought my heart defeat
Ere your infancy was gone,
Keep me constant to the fleet
Change of sweetness moving on.

Since to earthlier touch compelled,
From a shy and shrinking past
Reach the hand that angels held
All your childhood thro' so fast.
