Ave, Imperator, senectus te salutat.

TIME, in whose kingship is Song,
What shall I bring to thee now,
Weary of heart and of brow --
Now, that the shadows are long?

Not with the young and the strong
Numbered am I. And I bow,
TIME!

Yet -- let me stand in the throng;
Yet -- let me hail and allow
Youth, that no Combat can cow,
Strength, that is stronger than Wrong,
TIME!
