Too late I stayed, forgive the crime Unheeded flew the hours How noiseless falls the foot of time How noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers Too late I stayed, forgive the crime Unheeded flew the hours How noiseless falls the foot of time How noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers Too late I stayed, forgive the crime Unheeded flew the hours How noiseless falls the foot of time How noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers And who, with clear account, remarks The ebbings of this glass Of this glass When all its sands are diamond sparks That dazzle as they pass? Too late I stayed, forgive the crime Unheeded flew the hours How noiseless falls the foot of time How noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers Too late I stayed, forgive the crime Unheeded flew the hours How noiseless falls the foot of time How noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers
