CXCIX TOO LATE J STAYED |
|||
 |
|||
|
And who to sober measurement
Time's happy swiftness brings ? When birds of Paradise have lent
The plumage of their wings. Too late I stay'd: forgive the crime j
Unheeded flew the hours; For noiseless falls the foot of Time, That only treads on flowers.
Words by the Hon. W. R. Spencer. Tune The Slender Coat. From Bunting's Music of Ireland. |
