This is yet another poem attributed to the spurious Frenchman Christophe des Laurières, but actually written by Clark Ashton Smith (CAS).

As with the other poems attributed to des Laurières, this one has a mildly erotic character, although the central concept of lovers trying to forestall the passage of time is not particularly racy.  It's a minor poem.
