[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Like as the waves [Am]make
towards the pebbled shore
So do our minutes hasten
to their [Dm]end
Each changing place with
that which goes before
In sequent toil all forwards
[Am]do contend
Nativity, once in the main of light
Crawls to maturity,
wherewith being [Dm]crown'd
Crooked eclipses 'gainst
his glory fight
And time, that gave,
doth now his gift [Am]confound
Time doth transfix the flourish
set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow
[Dm]Feeds on the rarities
of nature's truth
Nothing stands but for his
scythe [G]to mow
Yet to times in hope my
verse shall stand
Praising thy worth, despite his [Am]cruel hand
[Dm]

[Verse 2]
Like as the waves [Em]make
towards the pebbled shore
So do our minutes hasten to their end
[Am]Each changing place with that
which goes before
In sequent toil all forwards
do [Em]contend
Nativity, once [E]in the main [Em]of light
Crawls to maturity,
wherewith [Am]be ing crown'd
Crooked eclipses 'gainst
his glory fight
And time, that gave,
doth now his gift confound
[Em]Time doth transfix the flourish
set on youth
And delves the parallels
in beauty's [Am]brow
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth
Nothing stands but for his scythe [D]to mow
Yet to times in hope my
verse shall stand
Praising thy worth,
despite his [Em]cruel [Am]hand
His cruel [Em]hand[Am]
[Em]His [Am]cruel [Em]hand
