The Course of Life


O,let the Soul its slumbcrs break
Arouse its senses and awake,
10 &c how soon,
Life, with its gIories, glides away,
And the stern foot-s,ep Of decay
Comes stealing on.
How pleasure, like the passing wind,
Blows by, and leaves Us nought behind
But grief at last;
How still our present happiness
Seems, to the wayward fancy, less
Than what is past.
Our lives like hasting streams must be,
That into one engulfing sea
Are doomed to fall;
The Sea Of Death, whose waves roll on,
Der king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all
Alike the rivers lUIil, tide,
Alike The humble rIy'lets glide
To the sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but the stafting-place,
Lifeis the cunning Of the race,
And death the goal;
There all our steps at last are brought,
That path alone, Of all unsouSht,
Is fouad Of all.
Where is the strength that Knocked decay,
The step that rose 50 light and gay,
The hearts blithe tono'
The strength Is gone, the step is slow,
And JOY grows WEAKNESS and woe
When age comes on.
Say, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those slittering toys Of earth,
That lure us here;
Dreams Of s'ecp that Death must break,
Aias! before it bids Us wake,
