O Life! O Time!

O life! O time **** O life! O time, Fleeting instant without prime! Thou art merciless boon without rhyme, Sonorous but hard to digest, I sing in thy name that thou must praise, Unheard as it flows and dies next moment. O life! thou art a faint dreamer and art decietful damsel nay, a demon that mocks our cherished plan, that nullifies our dreams, Not thou who move steps with the passing strain. Music! joyous pain in bosom, stops not in fleeting stream. Unchanged flow With changing Stream, healour being for time being, Let us flow whatever pain, let it go. Rest may dawn In between lifetime. *****
