Today\u2019s poem:

If I Could Tell You by W.H. Auden

\xa0

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.

\xa0

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.

\xa0

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.

\xa0

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.

\xa0

Perhaps the roses really want to grow,

The vision seriously intends to stay;

If I could tell you I would let you know.

\xa0

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.
