Now is not the time to think of the eternal,
now is not the time at all,
the footman can wait at the head of the table as he watches us having a ball.

the scythe may be held high but the end is not yet nigh,
for the night is still young
there is still time to remember
the love and the fun
there is still time to bathe
in the glow and what sun there was.

no!
now is not the time
