New Cracks in Old Stone

New cracks in old stone Just beginning to show, Reveals things never shown Things only one could know Just beginning to show A solid surface scrambles, Things only one could know Shedding into shambles A solid surface scrambles Every chisel brings a change, Shedding into shambles In time, it must arrange Every chisel brings a change Upon hard - headed rock, In time, it must arrange For none can beat the clock Upon hard - headed rock Reveals things never shown, For none can beat the clock New cracks in old stone.

This is absolutely mind-blowing. It seems to flow to the sound of hammers on an archeological dig. Fav.
