The clocks are chiming in my heart <br />Their cobweb chime; <br />Old murmurings of days that die, <br />The sob of things a-drifting by. <br />The clocks are chiming in my heart! <br /> <br />The stars have twinkled, and gone out-- <br />Fair candles blown! <br />The hot desires burn low, and wan <br />Those ashy fires, that flamed anon. <br />The stars have twinkled, and gone out.<br /><br />John Galsworthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/past-45/
