Why sitst thdu by' that ruined Hall
Thou aged earl, so stern and grey ?
Dost thou its former prime reed,
Or ponder how it passed away ?
Know'st thou not me ? the Deep Voice cried;
So long ENJOYED, so Oft MISUSED—
Alternate in thy fickle pride,
Desired, neglected, and ablised.
Before my breath, like blazing 'flak;
Man and his marvels pass away ;
And changing Empires wane, and waxi
Are founded, flourish, and decay.
REDEEM MY 110Uns-Lthe space is brief--r
While in my glass the sand-grains shiver;
And measureless the joy or grief,
When TIME and thou shalt part for ever.
