How Well Have I Been Judged By Fate and Time
How well have I been
judged by Fate and Time
I dare not say to praise
engrossing grey
Wherefore I'm lent to
weariness in prime
The years of rested
dreams, myself decay.
A pile of bones replaces
youth's vigour
O'er woes upon regrets
of parting-meet
Memoirs of days behind,
the years devour
And grind in tend'r-less
soft'ning, bit to bit.
What shall remain o'er
couple years ahead
I dare not consider,
deflower or think
Lest grief unto my heart
is spun and spread
And fast into infinity, I
sink.
I shall return to tell my
ev'ning years
If infinity, Fate or Time
outwears.
