PASSING AWAY.

Passing away!-passing awa way"
Things we most cherish fall first to decay;
Smiles that are sweetest, the soonest are flown.
And friends that are dearest, the earliest gone.
"Passing away passing away
We have fingered here but feeting day
The faces we met were the and strange,
And VIC sighed as we looked on SO drcar change.
But "passng away-passng away
Time has sped far that first wearisome day
And well have we learned with ready part,
TO riyet new ties round the yielding heart.
We have learned to love the now and strange.
Till we fear 10 think of the coming change,
And weep as we dream OF the saddcning day
When these new found friends will have passed a,cdy
Will have passed away will have passed away
Is there, then, no love that will last for aye
Are there no friends who ne'er cstrange?
No hearts 10 be true mid the wreck Of change
Nav nay-doubt not, tits chccrleSs thing,
To doubt the faith of the hearts where we cling;
And we fain would trust, though all others decay,
The love ofheSe friends will pass necer away
Though life may pass on, and we meet no more
Till It's dreams gone, and its strivings Ger,
We will oft look back through memory's hall,
And these eyes and these voices again recall
And oh, may it be in the final hour,
They may come yet again with a holy power;
And draw us on with yet stronger love
To joiu in Eternal bonds above.
But oh, shall we mcet-shal We all meet there
'Twerc bliss to outweigh all worldly care,
I l. nuru1n 1nrtp pl
In this cold, cold world pass SO swiftly away.
Oh, friends, dear friends, it is vain TO tell
How these fears and hopes in my sphit dwell!
Shall we all meet there shal! we all meet there?
