VERSE 01: A little time for laughter,/A little time to sing,/A little time to kiss and cling,/And no more kissing after.VERSE 02: A little while for scheming/Love’s unperfected schemes:/A little time for golden dreams,/Then no more any dreaming.VERSE 03: A little while ‘twas given/To me to have thy love | |
/Now, like a ghost, along I move/About a ruined heaven.VERSE 04: A little time for speaking/Things sweet to say and hear | |
/A time to seek, and find thee near,/Then no more any seeking.VERSE 05: A little time for saying/Words the heart breaks to say | |
/A short, sharp time wherein to pray,/Then no more need for praying.VERSE 06: But long, long years to weep in,/And comprehend the whole/Great grief, that desolates the soul,/And eternity to sleep in. | |
