To all-good-by MY task Is done.
I've swung the circle OF the sun.
I've given al that Life bestows,
I've dealt Fate's caros to friends. TO foes.
I've touched you each with Joy and care,
Drawn wrinkles here. smoothed wrinkles
there.
End II I've frosted temples gray,
I've made warm lips TO kiss away
The chill. Tho Death. tho strife
I've visited-l've granted Life.
I'm Time. I've robbed your cradle dear,
Yes ! ask you-your dying Year.
Have not filled it? Answer free,
II I've robbed you have not you cheated me?
Have not you sought to kill Incline,
Have not you wasted me-God's gift sub
Misspent me. Knocked me. wished me on
my way.
Loathed and reviled me-prayed another
day,
And when ! granted it, Knocked that one,
too,
Are we not quit at evens-l and youp
It's Kismet-Fate. Old World, good-by
My cycles done-l faint die.

Oh, World dear World-at last my dream
