“THE FLIGHT OF TIME.”

By Mark Trafton

Flitting away, flitting away, Hour by hour, and day by day; Never a break in the running thread, Never a pause in the solemn tread; Onward, onward, day and night, Through joy’s bloom and sorrow’s blight; On through childhood, youth, and age, Over the bright and blotted page; Over ambition’s tinted cloud, Over despair’s funereal shroud; On through labor, on through rest, On when cheered and when depressed, Ever our life is flitting away, Hour by hour, and day by day. —Mark Trafton.
