If time still sings

The four seasons, landscapes, and all things in heaven and earth
Year after year, relentlessly similar
Remembering and forgetting
Coming in a procession
Subdued passion and miniature longing
From now on, he will bow his head and depart
From now on, he will raise his head and swallow
The initial drops and drips
