It is the little rift within the lute
That by and by will make the music mute,
And ever widening slowly silence all."

O thou sculptor, painter, poet!

From that shape thy work of art.

Jane Caroline Reed

This is an excerpt from the poem Locksley Hall by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

"Love took up the glass of time, and turn'd it in his glowing hands;

Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.

Love took up the harp of life, and smote on all the cords with might;

Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, pass'd in music out of sight.

Locksley Hall
