’Tis agony
To hear a clock
Dripping out hours
Into Eternity,
Remorselessly
Killing Youth’s flowers!
I am so young
And yet. Time’s cold

Tells me I shall be old. . .

Killed in my brain
Abroad was hurled
Upon the world,
All men, aghast, would seek
The secret of my pain. . .
Man is no flower,
Simply to live,
Die in an hour,
But a weak fugitive . . .
’Tis agony
To hear a clock
Dripping out hours
Into Eternity,
Remorselessly
Killing Youth’s flowers . . .
