Modern Poem


The sunlight on the garden

The sunlight on the garden
Hardens and grows cold,
We cannot cage the minute
Within its nets of gold;
When all is told
We cannot beg for pardon.

Our freedom as free lances
Advances towards its end;
The earth compels, upon it
Sonnets and birds descend;
And soon, my friend,
We shall have no time for dances.

 -Louis MacNeice
This poem is written by Louis MacNeice who is an Irish poet. The poet narrates the importance of time. He says that nothing in life is permanent everything is temporary and we should enjoy each and every second of our life. As written in our Quran “Time(Al-Asr) is a witness, that man is surely in a state of loss, except for those who believe and do good deeds and exhort one another to hold fast to the truth, and who exhort one another to steadfastness.”(103:1-2)
In this chapter Quran talks about the importance of time and how important it is make sure that we value it.
