Changed The Locks Quotes & Sayings

What hope is here for modern rhyme
To him, who turns a musing eye
On songs, and deeds, and lives, that lie
Foreshorten'd in the tract of time?

May bind a book, may line a box,
May serve to curl a maiden's locks;
Or when a thousand moons shall wane

A grief, then changed to something else,
Sung by a long-forgotten mind.

To utter love more sweet than praise. — Alfred Tennyson
