And sweeps from our distracted breast The time speeds away-AWAY-AWAY ;— LIKE FIERY STEED-FROM STAGE TO STAGE OF FATHOMLESS ETERNITY. THE HOUR-GLASS. Alas! how swift the moments fly! See childhood, youth, and manhood pass, Time WAS--time SHALL BE-drain the glass-.. TIME is the measure but of change, The PAST, the FUTURE, fill the range Where then is NOW? In realms above, In regions of eternal love, Where sits enthroned, "I AM." Then, Pilgrim, let thy joys and tears But, henceforth, all thy hopes and fears, To God let votive accents rise; With truth-with virtue live; So all the bliss that Time denies, ETERNITY SHALL GIVE.

Time speeds away 'Tis not the value of the gift To say my prayers To thee, guide of our infant days We children three, a happy band Whatever you are, be brave, boys 138 95 86 185 186 5 31 159 26 114 129 239 125 63 125 169 180 78 25 233 66 119 3 190 12 151 |
