sonnet xix: devouring time - miriam gideon lyrics

Loading...

devouring time, blunt thou the lion’s paws
and make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
pluck the keen t–th from the fierce tiger’s jaws
and burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;
make glad [and]1 sorry seasons as thou fleets
as do whate’er thou wilt, swift-footed time
to the wide world and [all]2 her fading sweets;
but i forbid thee one most heinous crime:
o! carve not with thy hours my love’s fair brow
nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
him in thy course untainted do allow
for beauty’s pattern to succeeding men
yet, do thy worst old time: despite thy wrong
my love shall in my verse ever live young
