THE OLD YEARS FLIGHT.

I watched the old years flight
And then said. with a smile,
"Ah. now the new year bright
VIII bide with us awhile!"
But ere my hopeful dreams
Have realized one day
Is dead and passed; 1t seems
1t starts but to decay.
Thus all along the way
Gravestones must mark the miles,
An epitaph each day,
A tomb of tears and smiles.
So we begin the new
CTis old ere we've begun)
To find IT'S aging. too.
With the first setting sun.
But twill not always be.
There'll come a living day,
And all things new, and we
Shall live in endless May.
No gravestones then will mark
The tombs where dead hopes lie,
No nights of sorrow dark
Creep DER our changeless sky.
