If time could tell the story,
That tale of Ages Past,
Of humble lovers’ treasure
and keeping it to last;
If time could recollect them,
Each moment that it bloomed
The love of two beginners
‘Gainst the dark impending doom;
If time could say, or utter hence
In whispered tones of light,
I think that it would give a kiss
While whispering, “Goodnight.”
