LIFE

By Jimmy Sycamore

Gone are my infant days, Going from mother's cares; Come are my boyhood plays, Coming more youthful snares.
Gone are my days of glee, Going my youth's sweet days; Come are more cares to me, Coming are manhood's ways.
Gone are life's pleasures rare, Going, young manhood's days; Come are more days of care, Coming to hopes a haze.
Gone are my youthful days, Gone are my days of glee, Gone are life's pleasant ways, Gone is life's best from me.
Going from me my strength, Going from me my life, Going to rest at length, Going to rest from strife.
Comes soon the day of doom, Comes now the time to rest, Comes now the silent tomb, Coming the summons blest.
Coming the Saviour mine, Coming the endless days; Coming the life divine, Coming eternal praise.
Jimmy Sycamore.
