When^I | do count | the clock | that tells | the
time,

And see | the brave day sunk | in hid|eous
night;

When I | behold | the vi|olet / past prime,
, , , ,
,
And sab|le curls, | all silv|ered ore | with
white;
, , , ,
,
When lof|ty trees | I see | barren | of leaves,
, ,
, , ,
Which^erst | from heat | did can|opy | the herd,
, , ,
, ,
And sum|mer's green | all gird|ed up | in
sheaves,
, ,
, , ,
Borne on | the bier | with white | and brist|ly
beard,
, , , ,
,
Then^of | thy beaut|y do | I ques|tion make,
, , ,
, ,
That thou | among | the wastes | of time | must go,
, , ,
, ,
Since^sweets | and beaut|ies do | themselves |
forsake
, , ,
, ,
And die | as fast | as they | see^oth|ers grow;

And noth|ing 'gainst | Time's scythe can make |
defense
T T . T , ,
,
Save breed, to brave | him when^|he takes |
thee hence.
