The Season for Loving
Now
is
the
season
for
loving
;
For
the
days
are
long
,
The
nights
warm
,
And
the
sun
rises
each
day
On
a
timeless
holiday
.
I've
reached
this
dubious
maturity
,
Sweated
my
tears
,
In
dismal
places
,
And
in
those
dread
days
Each
hour
was
an
eternity
.
And
after
each
eternal
day
,
Another
;
y
et
as
I
look
,
Look
back
on
he
ll
,
I
am
as
far
removed
from
then
As
then
I
was
from
now
.
Each
moment
flashes
swiftly
by
,
Some
savour
ed
,
And
some
hated
;
But
I
am
changed
and
older
now
,
Impervious
to
their
mood
,
No
more
afraid
of
living
,
Longing
but
to
love
;
And
hell
long
since
g
one
,
Replaced
instead
by
a
timeless
void
,
Time
less
season
for
l
oving
.
