"Oh Time" by John Milton

"Oh Time"
by John Milton
1608 - 1674

With the Silent Hunter 4 Intro Trailer

FLY, envious Time, till thou run out thy race,
Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours,
Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets' pace;
And glut thyself with what thy womb devours,
Which is no more than what is false and vain,
And merely mortal dross;
So little is our loss,
So little is thy gain.
For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb'd,
And last of all, thy greedy self consum'd,
Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss
With an individual kiss;
And Joy shall overtake us as a flood,
When every thing that is sincerely good
And perfectly divine,
With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine
About the supreme Throne
Of Him, t'whose happy-making sight alone,
When once our heav'nly-guided soul shall climb,
Then all this earthly grossness quit,
Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit,
Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee Oh Time.

my Favourite Part is "Then all this earthly grossness quit,

Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit,

Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee Oh Time. " :)

"Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss

With an individual kiss;

And Joy shall overtake us as a flood,

When every thing that is sincerely good

And perfectly divine,

With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine

This poem is not ''Oh Time'', it's called ''On Time'' and it was written in the 1630's. The title ''On Time'' has an important meaning in itself, whereas ''oh time'' would in this case be a very lame title.

@Kurten66 Sorry, it would be If not the carriers would ahve been to sea, the japs thought they were in port and if their plan had succeded the entire pacific fleet would have been eliminated.

[Kurten66]

@eric98470 Well the brits took north africa 1942, if they had been invaded 1940 as hitler predicted, north africa would be italian/german, therefore no italian landings and japan could ahve won the war agai8nst USA if not the carriers at pearl harbor would have been in port as they were predicted to be. Also if the japs had won at coral sea wich were very close to happening the japs would ahve invaded austalia and then the americans would have lost the war.
