For Those Who Love

Inscription for Katrina's Sun-Dial
In Her Garden of Yaddo

              Hours fly,
              Flowers die.
              New days,
              New ways,
              Pass by.
              Love stays.

              Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
       But for those who Love,
              Time is not.

Henry van Dyke (1852-1933)
Poems (1911) p. 341
