THE RIVER OF LIFE.

THE more we live more brief appear
L Our life's succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems year
And years like passing ages
THE gladsome current of our youth
Ere passion yet disorders
Steals lingering like river smooth,
Along its grassy borders.
PUT, as the careworn cheek grows wan
~ And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
WHEN joys have lost their bloom and
w breath
And life itself is vapid.
Why, as we near the falls Of Death,
Feel we its tide more rapid?
TT may be strange, yet who would change
L Times course to slower speeding
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
HEAVEN gives our years Of failing
~. strength
Indemnifying fleetness
And those of youth seeming length,
Proportional to their sweetness.
