BIZ JOHN JONES, ESQ.
The current Of departing years
How swift it glides away,
And with it bears our hopes and fears,
Our freshness and decay;
Oh /! swiftly, swiftly it flows on,
Extending far and wide,
And various changes too are borne
Upon its rushing tide.
Oh 4! It's the penalty we pay
In this vain world of ours,
To see the beautiful decay.
Like summers frailest fow'ra;
To sigh atthoughts of other days,
When pleasure brightly smild,
To watch the last departing rays
Ofjoys that once beguil'd,;
To see the household hearth, which late
With friends was circled round,
Forsaken, sad, and desolate,
Z Without welc'ming sound;
To see decay on every thing
Our hearts would fondly cherish.
TIE find our hopes all whitening,
Our joys but born to perish.
And yet with joy each newborn year,
Is haild by old and young,
And one would think, l ween, that care
Man heart had never wrung;
They little think that when this year
Shall too have passd from earth,
That they pershance may not be'here,
To hail auother's birth.
