What Have 1 Done2


] lay my finger on Times wrist to score
The fOrward-surging moments, as they roll;
Each pulse seems quicker than the one before;
And lo my days pile up against my soul
As clouds pile up against the golden sun;
Alasl What have done? What have / done?
] never steep the rosy hours in sleep,
Or hide my SOUL as in a gloomy crypt;
No idle hands into my bosom creep;
And yet, as water-drops from housewives
drip,
So, viewless, melt my days, and from me run;
Alas! What have done? What have done?
] have not missed the fragrance of the flowers,
Or scOrned the music OF the flowing rills,
Whose numerous, liquid tongues sing to the
hours:
Yet rise my days, behind me, like the hills,
Unstarred by light OF mighty triumphs won;
Alas! What have dOneY What have done?
BE still, my soul, restrain thy lips from wol
Cease thy lamentl for life is but the flower;
The fruit comes after death; how canst thou

Death is life's morning. When thy works be-

Then ask thyself-what yet is to be done?
