THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY.
Oh let the soul It's slumbers break, '-
Arouse its senses, and awake
To see how soon
Life, in its gloies, glides away ...
And the stcrA footsteps of decay ..tl
Come stealing on. I'll
And while we view the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glide
-A Away so fast,
Let us the present hour employ
Add deem each future dream joy ...
Already past. nf....
Let no vain hope deceive the mind,
No happier let US hope to find
Tomorrow than today
Our golden dreams Of yore were bright,
Like them, the present slialldelight--
Like them decay. ''I' '.'
Our lives like hastenlng streams must be,
That into one engulling sea
Are doomed to fall @
The sea of death, whose waves roll on
Ger king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulets glide,
To that sad wave
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side,
Within the grave,
Our birth is but starting place;
Ii is tlie running of the race,
And death the goal; ...
There all our gliltering toys are brought
That path alone, of all unSought,
Is found off
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glitterhg toys of earth
That lure us here;
Dreams of sleep that death must break;
Alas before it bids us wake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp of death can blight,
The cheeks pure glow of red and white
Has passed away;
Youth smiled and all was heavenly fair
Ace came and laid his finger there
And where are they2
Where is the strength that spurncd decay,
That step that rOved so light and gay,
The hearts blithe tone?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And Joy grows wearisome, and woe.
