W H Auden - If I Could Tell You
Work rating: High

	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, although,
	Because 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 all the lions 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.
