Tempus Fugit

Title:     Tempus Fugit
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

Lovely Spring,
A brief sweet thing,
Is swift on the wing;
Gracious Summer,
A slow sweet comer,
Hastens past;
Autumn while sweet
Is all incomplete
With a moaning blast,--
Nothing can last,
Can be cleaved unto,
Can be dwelt upon;
It is hurried through,
It is come and gone,
Undone it cannot be done,
It is ever to do,
Ever old, ever new,
Ever waxing old
And lapsing to Winter cold.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Tempus Fugit
