O, Time and Change, they range and range <br />From sunshine round to thunder! - <br />They glance and go as the great winds blow, <br />And the best of our dreams drive under: <br />For Time and Change estrange, estrange - <br />And, now they have looked and seen us, <br />O, we that were dear, we are all-too near <br />With the thick of the world between us. <br /> <br />O, Death and Time, they chime and chime <br />Like bells at sunset falling! - <br />They end the song, they right the wrong, <br />They set the old echoes calling: <br />For Death and Time bring on the prime <br />Of God's own chosen weather, <br />And we lie in the peace of the Great Release <br />As once in the grass together.<br /><br />William Ernest Henley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-time-and-change-they-range-and-range/
