we miss the mark by blaming modern haste
for all the losses that the old declare
since time's the one thing that we cannot waste
why bother waiting when the one abased
will be revenged when none is left to care
we miss the mark by blaming modern taste
instead of noting that the old displaced
was most unkind and never was quite fair
since time's the one thing that we cannot waste
you ought to leave at once before the taste
of anger drives our guardians all spare
we miss the mark by blaming modern taste
for those disasters that our kind have faced
the ***** magics came on unaware
since time's the one thing that we cannot waste
burning our feet showing our gems were paste
leaving behind only a haze in air
we miss the mark by blaming modern haste
since time's the one thing that we cannot waste
