Classic Poem

Time requires me to give account;
The account, if I would give it, requires time:
For he, without account, who lost such time,
How shall he, without time, give such account?

Time cares not to take time into account,
for the account was not made up in time;
for time would only take account of time
if in the account of time time found account.

What account shall suffice for so much time?
What time suffice for so great an account?
Life careless of account is shorn of time.

I live, I have no time, give no account,
knowing that I must give account of time
and that the time must come to give account.
