THE WEB OF YEARS

FROM out of the loom of Time the years Unroll a fabric all must wear; The woof of joy and warp of tears Are spun by moving hopes and fears, And pressed by weighty-rolling Care.
What measure into each is given? A span may gauge the greatest parts; And yet the least from earth to Heaven Do reach, as in the quiet even Short prayers sent up from children's hearts.
The web too quickly for us all Is wove, while pass the shuttles fleet; And when the threads have ceased to fall, Death throws it o'er us as our pall, Or round us as our winding sheet.
