Shut up, thy evil voice of time
give me the chance
to return a glance
at this outrageous speed of thine
thine games shall not betray me
I know now
before I bow
what Lord I have before me
this yearning shall never end
to God I pray
that he greatly may
think of the Angel he send
I obey all that thee command
but do thee know
before I go
that I too have the right to stand
