My life closed twice before its close—
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me
But all the clocks in the city
Began to whirr and chime
'O let not Time deceive you
You cannot conquer Time
Homestretch
This is the homestretch
An arc of light that spans a length of sky
As the sun sets forth its battle cry
Homestretch
Those whose thoughts like skylarks
Rise up on the morning breeze
Who hover over life and understand
The speech of flowers and silent things
Music, when soft voices die
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken
Live within the sense they quicken
Homestretch
This is the homestretch
An arc of light that spans a length of sky
As the sun sets forth its battle cry
Homestretch
So long as we can breathe
So long as eyes can see
So long lives this
And this gives life to thee
Homestretch
This is the homestretch
An arc of light that spans a length of sky
As the sun sets forth its battle cry
Homestretch
