On A Dial

1

To-morrow and to-morrow
Is but to-day:
The world wags but to borrow
Time that grows gray:--
Grammercy! time's but sorrow
And--well away!

2

Since time hales but to sadness
And to decay,
Men needs wax fools for madness,
Laugh, curse, and pray;
Death grapples with their badness--
The Devil's to pay.

[The end]
Madison Julius Cawein's poem: On A Dial
