Another tlectng year has gene

And yet some beacon lights Still CLEAN,
Like stars upon Times rapid stream
And on its banks some howrets grow
Some tavord hand may pluck those flowers,
But all the piercing thorns of NO,

Friends change, joys fade, fond hopes are won
And stu the stream Of Time rolls on
Man walks erect in conscious pride,
With visions high and thoughts sublime,
Pursuing phantoms which must glide,
Like bubbles, down the stream OF Time;
Not all hi, plans, or hopes, or fears,
Can stay the rapid march Of years

Too often leaving but remorse,
The deep regret, the burning tear
