THE MARCH OF the WEARS.


Tramp, tramp tramp
'Tis the deep low tread of the years;
All, who may tell Of the load they bear,
Whetber Of sorrow, Of grief, or care,
Whether Of joy or tears,
Or whether HES clouds will roll away
Meath the touch OF the cunning years
Tramp, tamp, tramp,
Dawn the mystic vale OF time
And shadowy specircs old aud gray, z
That sisud and walk 10 the years swift way,
Step into their place like rhyme
And whether to us for joy or tears,
The years give never sign.
Tramp, tramp, tramp
How swiftly they come and 60
We feel hut touch Of the summers breath
Ere Its roses wither and fall In death,
And white lies The winters snow
Then vainly we sigh DER hopes bright dienms
That have gone with the long ago.
Tramp, tramp, tramp,
Like shnduwy forms Of the nigti,
We see them coming-a long din Inc
Nearing NJ ever. and still no sign
And we tremhe and shrek in fright.
For we know not whether they bring life's cloud
Or whether they bring the light.
The Father has willed II thus,
That mortals may never know
Whtther their lives, IN the future years,
grave oi hope to be wet with tears,
A palace Of Joy or woe
Let feet should falter and hearts grow faint
lie knew 1t was better so.
