Love and Time
.
Because old Time’s a rover
Need young Love change his home ?
Ah, now that summer’s over,
Old Time, and winter come,
Teach young Love to discover,
Where’er thou roamest, some
New ways whereby to love her,
If Love with thee must roam
Old Time, why wilt thou never
Let young Love be ? Ah why !
Because thou art for ever
Unkindly fleeting by.
Must Love, too, share thy treasons,
And play me false like thee ?
Change thou thy suns and seasons,
But leave my love to me !
