) L! Q' M* P6 X6 ?# t4 I　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold
# S- \$ e$ m% }, p8 P6 P" r, _  w2 |　　Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled
5 I8 c% S! r, ?# F4 e/ o8 B0 B　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
" X; `" R  ]/ O; v) r1 ]* o' g0 ]　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
/ A" A9 Y% v$ \# `" r. o! j, E　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,
　　And bearing silence with thee disengage
# ?( ?3 L, z1 \7 f: C　　Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods
　　Alone can cherish thee, alone possess
　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
