Thou art a wonderful gift to man
Thou regulate him and slaves him
In thee he lives and moves
All his being comes to nothing without thee


Thou dictate his coming into the world
Thou command him out of existence
Thou preserve him till when thou desire
Thy decision is final to him


Into time and in time, man was born
Passes he by with the time
Time leads him to life’s zenith
In a twinkle, time demotes him


Wonderful meditation at grave yard, I had
On the watch are the bones of a wasted generation
Silenced eternally by and with time
Kept in perpetual rest by none else but time


Assuming dreams really come true
I would have reverse the movement of time
To favour again those in their graves
To complete their dreams that time denied


But time has arrested even the living
His dictates they must follow
He tells them where and when and how
Their unfolding heart-desire must be


Time! It is time to time thy time
Time me no more, leave me timeless
So shall we live in eternity
Where thou can never approach.
