TRUE EXPRESSIONS PHOTO BY ED ROSACK
TIME LONG PAST
Like the ghost of a dear friend dead Is Time long past . A tone which is now forever fled , A hope which is now forever past , A love so sweet it could not last , Was Time long past .
There were sweet dreams in the night Of Time long past : And , was it sadness or delight , Each day a shadow onward cast Which made us wish it yet might last — That Time long past .
There is regret , almost remorse , For Time long past . ' Tis like a child ' s belovèd corse A father watches , till at last Beauty is like remembrance , cast From Time long past .
Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792-1822
