Apologies for a gloomy one - I just had to do something with the first two lines of that hymn that's bugged me since childhood! Just hope that tomorrow I don't 'fly forgotten as a dream dies at the opening day'? Gosh and Oooooer! Uplift at the end I hope? Night All! Cheers! John X
Time
Time, like an ever rolling stream, Bears all its sons away Poetry, in my strolling dream, Says, “John, I beg you, stay!” “Should I stay or should I go?” The worn-out song still asks Bring on the wine and dancing girls And the mellow oak-aged casks For now I’ll stay with you a while Till all our songs are done Talk with you of life ill-spent Of what’s left – still unspun When our cup has full run dry I'll take my leave of you Leaving few regrets behind me Few, so very few.
