“Sad hours and glad hours, and all hours, pass over; One thing unshaken stays: Life, that hath Death for spouse, hath Chance for lover; Whereby decays, Each thing save one thing: mid this strife diurnal, Of hourly change begot, Love that is God-born, bides as God eternal, And changes not; Nor means a tinseled dream pursuing lovers, Find altered by-and-bye, When, with possession, time anon discovers, Trapped dreams must die, - For he that visions God, of mankind gathers, One manlike trait alone, And reverently imputes to Him a father's love for his son.” LifeMeanDreamDiesFatherBornHoursChanceVisionOne ThingMankindSonLoversEternalPossessionGladTraitsDecayTrappedSpouseStrifeAlteredByeAnon Author:James Branch Cabell
