from each other, I have carefully col

My days, my weeks, my months, my years,
Fly rapid as the whirling spheres
Around the steady pole:
Time, like the Tide, its motion keeps,
And must launch through bountiless deeps,
Where endless ages roll.

How swift the moments pass between,
And whisper as they hy

"Thongh fond of subunary bliss,
" That thou must groan and die"

Thine earthly tent must shortly fall,
And thou must take thy fight,

To sing and love, as angels do
Or sink in endless night.

Alas an honf may close the scene,
And ere twelve months shall roll between,
