All things I'll give youWill you be my guest,Bells for your jennetOf silver the best,Goldsmiths shall beat youA great golden ring,Peacocks shall bow to you,Little boys sing,Oh, and sweet girls willFestoon you with may.Time, you old gipsy,Why hasten away?

Last week in Babylon,Last night in Rome,Morning, and in the crushUnder Paul's dome;Under Paul's dialYou tighten your rein—Only a moment,And off once again;

Off to some cityNow blind in the womb,Off to anotherEre that's in the tomb.

Time, you old gipsy man, Will you not stay,Put up your caravan Just for one day?

By Ralph Hodgson
