ned rorem – aftermath: sonnet lxiv lyrics
Loading...
when i have seen by time’s fell hand defaced
the rich proud cost of outworn buried age;
when sometime lofty towers i see down+razed
and brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
when i have seen the hungry ocean gain
advantage on the kingdom of the shore
and the firm soil win of the watery main
increasing store with loss, and loss with store;
when i have seen such interchange of state
or state itself confounded to decay;
ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate
that time will come and take my love away
this thought is as a death which cannot choose
but weep to have that which it fears to lose
