I cannot command
The sand
Nor all these fallen leaves
To show me
The meaning of infinity.
And the mighty sea
Levels the castle I left
On the beach.
Poets reach
For rhyme.
As old Time
Laughs,
For he sees
Even the great sea
Must pass
I cannot command
The sand
Nor all these fallen leaves
To show me
The meaning of infinity.
And the mighty sea
Levels the castle I left
On the beach.
Poets reach
For rhyme.
As old Time
Laughs,
For he sees
Even the great sea
Must pass
