By GEORGE H. MURPHY.
Quick, quick, quick
(Not tick, tick tiCkD
Sings the clock upon the wall
To us all.
Days like dry leavcs flying,
Joys like flowers dying,
Fill our hearts with tears
At the changing of the years!
For cold and empty seems hopes nest
The sun will soon be setting III the West
Tingle, Jingle, tingle!
(Not jingle, jingle, jingleD
Groan the evening bells,
And a dolcful echo sweus;
Aye, hope is dead and gone,
But memory lives on
And, golden red,
The sum riCh radiance, fading fast,
Pours back into the dear, dear past,
And WHITES the dead.
Throb, throb, throb!
(NOt sob, sob, sObD
Sings the time-piecc IN my breast.
In the West
Tie sun Of yesterday hath set i'll rosy
skies,
But tomorrow sun more glorious,
will arise!
Then why,
With aching heart and eye,
Bcnoan tn clysium fading iii the West?
Hope whispers III my breast:
Turn to the East The sun that set will
rise!
Turn to the East, for there Elysium lies,
Elysiu7n Frightening into Para disc.
