***

 

‘Tis time, my friend, 'tis time! The heart to peace aspires:
Day follows day; the rolling stream of hours
Crumbles the banks of being, and you and I
Had thought to live, and yet, behold, we die.

Though joy for ever flees, peace stays and concentration.
For long now has it been my consolation,
Hard-driven slave, to plan rebellious flight
To some far sanctuary of work and chaste delight.
