W. H. Auden Quote

We till shadowed days are done,
We must weep and sing
Duty's conscious wrong,
The Devil in the clock

We till shadowed days are done, We must weep and sing Duty's conscious wrong, The Devil in the clock

We till shadowed days are done, We must weep and sing Duty's conscious wrong, The Devil in the clock
