Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love,
Time is eternity.
'Time is too slow for those who wait' (1905), read at the funeral of diana, Princess of Wales; Nigel Rees in 'Quote…Unquote' October 1997 notes that the original form of the last line is 'Time is not'
