WHAT Is YEARl

What is a yenri It's but wave
On life 8 dark rolling stream,
Which is so quickly gone that we
Account it but dream.
It's but a single earnest throb
or Times old iron heart,
Which tireless now and strong as when
1t first with life did start.
What is year, This but turn
OfTime's old brazen Wheel.
Or but page upon the book
Which dea h must shortly seal.
IT'S but a step upon the road
Which we must travel FER,
A few more steps and we shall walk
Life's weary road no more.
What is ayear' It's but breath
From Times old nostrils blown,
As rushing onward DER the earth,
We hear his weary moan.
It's like the bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn,
As transient as the mists of morn
Beneath the summer sun.
What is year, IT'S but type
OF life's oft changing scene,
Youths happy morn comes gaily on
With hills and valleys green.
Next. Summers prime succeeds the Spring
Then Autumn with tear,
Then comes old Winter-deatb, and all
Must find their level here.
