TURNING GRAY.

Iife's sands are running fast away.

And Time seems now TO hurry on
More teetly than in days OF yore
Before the heart become lie prey
Before twas ssddened to the core
Before the days wien We are gray.
Yes, turning gray. Age comes like snow
As still-And carves each careworn line !:
lts wrinkles on the brow will grow r
The hair with silver streAks will shine
The eyes Their brightness lose. the hand
Grow dry, and tremulous and thin
For life, alas is quickly spanned.
And death its gates soon closes in. d 7
All turning gray. We fain would hide
The sigh how long with Time we've bee
Those deepened wrinkles side by side,
Cut by the sorrows we have seen
For feeble beats the hearts as years
More thickly cluster on our head
Az autumn rain drops hang like tears.
On some fair flower that's nearly dead.
Lake perished petals from the flower
Our hopes and widest joys are laid
Burn only for day or hour-
Sweet gambo by the fancy played
Az age comes on, we long for rest,
As saints near shrines will long to pray
But still we love that time the best
Before the hair il turning gray.
