"The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2"
Rupert Hughes
Thou, lord of night and day, Time, sweet father of such blameless pleasure, Time, false friend who tak'st thy gifts away, Spare us yet some scantlings of the treasure, Leave us yet some rapture of delay, Yet some bliss of blind and fearless leisure unprophetic of delight's decay, Yet some nights and days wherein to measure All the joys that bless us while they may.
"A Midsummer Holiday and Other Poems"
Algernon Charles Swinburne
