Public Domain Poetry And Stories - The Power Of Time. by Jonathan Swift Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
If neither brass nor marble can withstand
The mortal force of Time's destructive hand;
If mountains sink to vales, if cities die,
And lessening rivers mourn their fountains dry;
When my old cassock (said a Welsh divine)
Is out at elbows, why should I repine?
