There are moments Of sadess,
When the mind wanders back
In a search FOR lost treasures,
Over Life's dusty track
When it looks for some token
Ola joy that had birth
Ola joy that has perished
Like the flow ers Of earth
In the dim, misty distance,
AS we gaze through our tears,
We can see but the fragments
That nave gone with the years
All the flowers have faded.
And their perfume is gone;
In their beauty they perished,
Leaving ashes, alone!
In these moments Of sadness
Fen our future grows dark,
And we move as in midnight
Moves a composites bark;
We are blind to Hopes beacon,
Though it glitters on high,
For we gaze upon nothing
But the clouds in the sky.
