All me how rapid arc the wheels,
How short this life of ours;
How sad aud lonely each one feels
When the frost has killed the fiowers
At last our eyes shall close
Our lips shall lose their smile:
No word OF fame, no thought of foes,
That silonce shall beguile.
Oh short our Journey but tits best
That from this life part
Homeward and heaven ward all at rest.
In this world we've made our mark.
