Poem by Charles Hanson Towne


Love and Time


I said, "Love laughs at Time," before I knew
The perfect joy of wholly loving you;
So swift the days went hurrying to that Day
When we were one--Love swept us on the way.

But now--Time laughs at Love; for swifter yet
Speed years that seem as hours! The sun will set,
The final curtain fall, our lives be done;
We will have lived--long years that seemed as one!
