Woe To Time That Ravages This Face

I've noticed an aging look that's changing, wrinkles and dark spots start appearing; the beauty of youth is a passionate fruit... until it gets ripe and loses firmness and glow! I had the smoothest skin exposed to scorching sunlight, a deep tan looked great when my mood was so mellow! Woe to time that ravages this face with haste, more sunny days and sweetness I must taste; time, be gentle with me as a tiger is tender with her cub! Mankind is Nature's enemy that burns every shrub, and leaves no home for the green shivering sterling left without shelter: he refuses to sing his sweet song!
