The tide rolls on. the tide rolls on
The never cpa'ing tide,
That sweeps the pleasure from our hearts,
The loved one from our side
That bri igs affection to our lat,
And anguish and despair
And bears from youths unrufied brow,
The charms that fingered thore.
The tide rolls on-wave after wave,
ips swelling waters flow;
Before it all is bright and fair,
Behind 1t all is woe
The infant from its mothers breast,
The gay aud blooming bride,
Are swept away and borne along
BY that resistless tide
The tide olsop--the soldiers eye
Grows dim beneath is swell;
The scholar shuna the mystic lOrO
That he hath loved so well;
The monarch puts the crown aside,
Aud abor's weary slave,
Rrjoices that his limbs will know
The quiet Of the grave. sfaeE
