If hours be years the twain are blest, <br />For now they solace swift desire <br />By bonds of every bond the best, <br />If hours be years. The twain are blest <br />Do eastern stars slope never west, <br />Nor pallid ashes follow fire: <br />If hours be years the twain are blest, <br />For now they solace swift desire.<br /><br />Thomas Hardy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-a-hasty-wedding/
