There will be time,
there will be time
To prepare a face to meet
the faces that you meet;
There will be time
to murder and create,
And time for all the works
and days of hands
That lift and drop a question
on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet
for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions
and revisions,
Before the taking
of a toast and tea.
there will be time
To prepare a face to meet
the faces that you meet;
There will be time
to murder and create,
And time for all the works
and days of hands
That lift and drop a question
on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet
for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions
and revisions,
Before the taking
of a toast and tea.
