TO MY WATCH,

Little watch, fast ticking out
All the hours Of pain and doubt,
All the tunIult toll andstrife
Making Up our span Of life;
All the heart-yrung signs and tears
Failing faster with the years,
as the petals drop and fade
From the bloom HES summer made,
All! what thoughts each other chase :
AS look upon your facet
Every tick your motions give,
One tick less have TO live
Did / realize this thought,
With such solemn meaning fraught,
When some new-bern joy drew nigh
In the happy days gone by,
And your slight hands all too slow
Round about your face did 90:
All those tardy hours have passed.
Would they were not row so fssti
Never stopping in your fight,
Never pausinF day nor night;
Not q moments rest you crave
From the cradle 20 the grave
With 2 never ceasing motion,
Steadfast as the tides of ocean;
Seeming evermore to hurry,
Yet without n moments furry
s'ill cur worn hearts almost pray
That you would moment stay
All things rest-the clouds at noon,
And tbs leaves in nights of June;
And the grief bewildered brain
When sleep falls like softest rain;
And the stars when DAY awakes,
And the day when Hesper shakes
Cleans OF gold from out the skies
Into wandering lovers eyes.
You alone speed on your way,
Never resting night nor day.
Yet what joys those hands kave brought!
Golden days with rapture tr2ught;
Golden days Of sunlit foun tain;
Golden days On breezy mountain;
Days made more divine by love
Than By radiance from above.
Ali those hands that to the sense
Bring such Joys and bear them hence
Could we know what time conCcals
Meath those little ticking wheels
Yet when those slight hands shall mark
That last hour when all grows dark,
Aud shall sill feep ticking on
When earth's light from NE is gons
Little watch, your face shall be
Still a memory sweet to me,
Though diYi.er light may shine
On these opened eyes Of mine
For your.haIds that never cease
Bring at last the perfect peace.
