IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS |
||
|
Like the summer sunshine o'er our path,
Making the desert green; The shrines of an early hope and love,
And the flowers of every clime, The wise, the beautiful, the brave,
Thou hast taken from us, Time!
What hath Time left us ? desolate
Cities, and temples lone, And the mighty works of genius, yet
Glorious, when all are gone; And the lights of memory, lingering long,
As the eve on western seas — Treasures of science, thought, and song —
He hath left us more than these.
He hath left us a lesson of the past,
In the shades of perished years; He hath left us the heart's high places waste,
And its rainbows fallen in tears. But there's hope for the earth and her children still,
Unwithered by woe or crime, And a heritage of rest for all,
Thou hast left us these, oh Time! |
