Lord Alfred Tennyson Time Quotations

So, friend, when I first looked upon your face, our thoughts gave answer each to each. Opposed mirrors each reflecting each, although I knew not in what time or place, methought that I had often met with you, and each had lived in other's mind and speech.

O mighty-mouthed inventor of harmonies,/ O skilled to sing of Time or Eternity,/ God-gifted organ voice of England,/ Milton, a name to resound for ages.

Time driveth onward fast,/ And in a little while our lips are dumb./ Let us alone. What is it that will last?/ All things are taken from us, and become/ Portions and parcels of the dreadful Past.

Tho'/ We are not now that strength that in old days/ Moved earth and heaven: that which we are, we are;/ One equal temper of heroic hearts,/ Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will/ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

The time draws near the birth of Christ: The moon is hid; the night is still; The Christmas bells from hill to hill Answer each other in the mist

You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear;/ To-morrow 'ill be the happiest time of all the glad New-year;/ Of all the glad New-year, mother, the maddest merriest day;/ For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May.

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever.
