1 " Time will say nothing but I told you so.Time only knows the price we have to pay; If I could tell you I would let you know.If we should weep when clowns put on their show, If we should stumble when musicians play,Time will say nothing but I told you so. There are no fortunes to be told, althoughBecause I love you more than I can say,If I could tell you I would let you know. The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,There must be reasons why the leaves decay; Time will say nothing but I told you so. Perhaps the roses really want to grow, The vision seriously intends to stay;If I could tell you I would let you know. Suppose the lions all get up and go,And all the brooks and soldiers run away;Will Time say nothing but I told you so?If I could tell you I would let you know. "
― W.H. Auden ,
