by Henry Jackson van Dyke Jr. (1852 - 1933)

Language: English 
Love stays.
          Hours fly,
          Flowers die
          New days (will) pass by.
New ways soon will fade,
but love stays.
          Love stays.

          Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Time is too Swift for those who Fear,
Time is too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
    But for those who Love,
          Time is not.
