TIME IS A PRIEST, by                    
First Line: Old father time must don his april gown
Last Line: And I behold all beauty in his eyes.
Subject(s): Time


Old Father Time must don his April gown,
And wear a vernal rainbow for a crown.

When wild bird medleys filter through the hills,
He counts a rosary of daffodils.

Then June, a nun, shall draw a golden thread
Of sunlight, straight from God to weave and spread

A carpet, bright with flowers for his feet
To make his garment fragrant and complete.

From hidden nooks the spires of incense rise;
And I behold all beauty in his eyes.
