LINES.

• • That time is dead forever, child,
  • Drowned, frozen, dead forever!
  • We look on the past
  • And stare aghast
  • At the spectres wailing, pale and ghast,
  • Of hopes which thou and I beguiled
  • To death on life’s dark river.
• • The stream we gazed on then, rolled by;
  • Its waves are unreturning;
  • But we yet stand
  • In a lone land,
  • Like tombs to mark the memory
  • Of hopes and fears, which fade and flee
  • In the light of life’s dim morning.
