from To Ireland in the Coming Time
While still I may, I write for you
The love I lived, the dream I knew.
The love I lived, the dream I knew.
From our birthday, until we die,
Is but the winking of an eye;
Is but the winking of an eye;
And we, our singing and our love,
What measurer Time has lit above,
What measurer Time has lit above,
And all benighted things that go
About my table to and fro,
Are passing on to where may be,
In truth's consuming ecstasy,
No place for love and dream at all;
For God goes by with white footfall.
I cast my heart into my rhymes,
I cast my heart into my rhymes,
That you, in the dim coming times,
May know how my heart went with them
After the red-rose-bordered hem.
After the red-rose-bordered hem.
– W.B. Yeats (1893)
