Time passed hard

And the task was the hardest thing she'd ever do

she forgot

The moment she saw you

So it would seem to be true:

When cruel birth debases we forget

When cruel death debases

We believe it erases all the rest

That precedes

But stand brave life-liver

Bleeding out your days

In the river of time

Stand brave:

Time moves both ways

In the nullifying defeating negating repeating

Joy of life;

The nullifying defeating negating repeating

Joy of life

The moment of your greatest joy sustains:

Not axe nor hammer

Tumor tremor

Can take it away and it remains

It remains

And it pains me to say I was wrong

Love is not a symptom of time

Time is just a symptom of love

and the nullifying defeating negating repeating

Joy of life;

The nullifying defeating negating repeating

Joy of life

Hardly seen hardly felt

Deep down where your fight is waiting

Down till the light in your eyes is fading:

Joy of life

Where I know that you can yield when it comes down to it;

Bow like the field when the combs through it:

Joy of life

And every little gust that chances through

Will dance in the dust of me and you

With joy-of-life

And in our perfect secret-keeping:

One ear of corn

In silent reaping

Joy of life

Joy Again around a pause a sound a song:

A way a lone a last a loved a long

A cave a grave a day: arise ascend

Areion Rharian go free and graze Amen

A shore a tide unmoored a sight abroad:

A dawn unmarked undone undarked a god

No time No flock No chime no clock No end
