By William Wordsworth (17701850)Truth and Change
TRUTH fails not; but her outward forms that bear | |
The longest date do melt like frosty rime, | |
That in the morning whitened hill and plain | |
And is no more; drop like the tower sublime | |
Of yesterday, which royally did wear | 5 |
His crown of weeds, but could not even sustain | |
Some casual shout that broke the silent air, | |
Or the unimaginable touch of Time. | |
