Time`s Paces.
When I was a child, I laughed and wept,
Time crept.
When I was a youth, I dreamed and talked,
Time walked.
When I became a full-grown man,
Time ran.
When older still I daily grew,
Time flew.
Soon I shall find - on travelling on -
Time gone.
O Christ, wilt Thou have saved me then?
Amen
