A Glimpse Of Time Poem by Robert Laurence Binyon

A Glimpse Of Time

Rating: 3.0


In the shadow of a broken house,
Down a deserted street,
Propt walls, cold hearths, and phantom stairs,
And the silence of dead feet —
Locked wildly in one another's arms
I saw two lovers meet.

And over that hearthless house aghast
Rose from the mind's abyss
Lost stars and ruined, peering moons,
Worlds overshadowing this, —
Time's stony palace crumbled down
Before that instant kiss.

Love can make one rise from the ashes of bad times like a phoenix.
