THE MOMENTS PASS.

By Mahlon M. De Levis

THE moments pass, the hours fly, The days and months go quickly by, The years roll on with lightning speed— How rapidly they all succeed!
My life is passing like a dream In joy's warm glow and pleasure's gleam, And soon the winter shall appear, With sorrow's shade and tempests drear.
Bright pleasures of my childhood hours Pass like the summer's gentle showers, And age, like winter's chilling blast, With hurrying steps will soon be past.
Let me each moment's space improve In deeds of kindness and of love, That, when life's joys and sorrows cease, I may repose in perfect peace. —Mahlon M. De Levis.
