TIME PASSING, BELOVED ~o)
Time passing, and the memories of love Coming back to me, carissima, no more mockingly Than ever before; time passing, unslackening, Unhastening, steadily; and no more Bitterly, beloved, the memories of love Coming into the shore.
How will it end? Time passing, and our passages of love As ever, beloved, blind As ever before; time binding, unbinding About us; and yet to remember Never less chastening, nor the flame of love Less like an ember.
What will become of us? Time Passing, beloved, and we in a sealed Assurance unassailed By memory, How can it end, This siege of a shore that no misgivings have steeled, No doubts defend?
