O, Time and Change, they range and range
From sunshine round to thunder!--
They glance and go as the great winds blow,
And the best of our dreams drive under:
For Time and Change estrange, estrange--
And, now they have looked and seen us,
O, we that were dear, we are all-too near
With the thick of the world between us.

O, Death and Time, they chime and chime
Like bells at sunset falling!--
They end the song, they right the wrong,
They set the old echoes calling:
For Death and Time bring on the prime
Of God's own chosen weather,
And we lie in the peace of the Great Release
As once in the grass together.
