Time is no more

Apologies to the Bard and E.A. Poe and great poetry everywhere

By John CoxPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Edgar puts a bee up Will's bonnet

I liken thee to a midnight dreary,

Even though lonely, forlorn evermore.

Rough winds shake till thou art weak and weary,

December raps at thy chamber door.

Sometime too cold the frost atop thy pate,

And how often now thy sad gaze graven

Awaits this as nothing more wills thy fate.

By cunning or chance enters the raven,

And eternal hope shall fade nevermore

Nor lose fair sight of Heaven above us,

Nor shall Death glibly boast "Time is no more!"

Long as thou draw breath and thine eyes seek mine

Long shalt live hope and thy life fairly shine.
