2. Time Long Past
Like the ghost of a dear friend dead
Is Time long past.
A tone which is now forever fled,
A hope which is now forever past,
A love so sweet it could not last,
Was Time long past.
There were sweet dreams in the night
Of Time long past:
And, was it sadness or delight,
Each day a shadow onward cast
Which made us wish it yet might last—
That Time long past.
There is regret, almost remorse,
For Time long past.
'Tis like a child's belovèd corse
A father watches, till at last
Beauty is like remembrance, cast
TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE..

3. As the title suggest "time long past" we know this is going to be the
theme of the poem because it continuous repeats itself through out the
poem. In the first paragraph it basically talks about how things can't
always last forever, no matter how much we want it to. Shelley also uses
these keywords: forever and death, which both mean something of the
past and they can't ever return to the present time. Once he includes "a
love so sweet it could not last," Shelley explains about his own
experiences. At the end of this paragraph, it teaches us that the things in
the past aren't always pleasant. As for the third paragraph, you indicate
that Shelley feels bad because he wishes that he could relive some of
those events even if they weren't the best. In contrast to that wish,
there's nothing that can be done. The word "beauty" also suggests that
it also belongs to the flow of time.Shelley clearly explains. In a way this
poem is kind of saying to enjoy the things your doing now because they
will eventually be part of the long past. A past that can't be
changed. meeting new peopleFrom spending time with my family to And
when we look back on it, there won't be regret or remorse.
