O Time, What a Wonder You Are
It is before your very eyes
That sons grow to be men
While under the same guise
Daughters turn into women.
You have seen many births
Of tears and nakedness;
Even of countless deaths
In riches and wretchedness.
You have lived many years
From aphelion to perihelion,
And witnessed many fears
Of the inhabitants of Zion!
Oh, I wonder what you are,
I marvel at what you are not.
You are not so close nor far,
But you are a life I have got!
