Abstract
He heard the tone of scornful clocks That summoned recollection Of times when he rebuked the past And cast aside reflection The persons that he left undone By careless intervention The objects of his faint desires That suffered inattention The wretched use of sad excuse To mitigate the toll Of hurting those who could awake Some love within his soul And now the roughened stream of time That washed away the years Has left an aching residue Of unacknowledged tears Audio.
