But Time Came To Your Side, Saying, Now I Insist

But Time Came To Your Side, Saying, Now I Insist



Fate, know this far deeper thought- stay alive I must

For one shallow day, die I become bone and dust

Silent, so calmly asleep,  turn I into stone

Beneath green pastures, weeping I for her alone

As fleeing winds, moan when hearing my futile cries

I that so deeply weep, beneath Nature's blue skies.



Fate, know this- your awesome powers, I did resist.

But Time came to your side, saying --now I insist.
