TIMING
When I have watched ten thousand clouds pass
overhead and seen
Them pass again this way no more in
splendor’s show serene,
When I have held the dearest heart close
to my breast once more
And known a love without a fear I
never knew before,
When I have filled my wildest dreams and
spent my sweetest day,
When there is nothing left to learn and
nothing left to say,
When all of time continues on as
if it faced no end
And I have told my last farewell to
lover and to friend,
When all my tears and hopes are gone and
life wills no delay
Then may I close my eyes in sleep and
blow my breath away.
