Laughingly gathered the flowers in play
And tossed them into the ripping tide
That to his prattle in murmur replied.
~ Give me something. BROOKE he said,
In trustful innocence, noddIng his head.
The years roll on. the years roll by;
The tears of child are quickly dry.
The child, to manhood's stature grown
Stood by the stream of the world alone;
He flung to it the work of his heart,
He said: =" In thy life shall have a part;
Thou wilt bring me friends and fame-whC
knows?"
And the hurrying stream in music rose.
The years roll on, the years roll by:
In the heart of the man lies a hidden sigh
An aged man leaned silently
Der the stream that glides to eternity:
He thought of the honest work of years,
OF vanished dreams, of unshed tears;
" Bear me on, o streamn' said he,
" There world where rich reward see.'
The solemn food moved slowly on;
The flower, the work, the life gone.
The years roll on, the years roll by,
In hope we live, and in hope we die.
