[As, in a journey, just begun]
As, in a journey, just begun,
We think the distance, vast,
Yet, while we travel, gayly, on,
Insensibly, 'tis past.
We think the distance, vast,
Yet, while we travel, gayly, on,
Insensibly, 'tis past.
So, in our youth, we measure slow,
Long views of promis'd breath:
'Till, like a shadow, out we go,
And vanish, into death.
Long views of promis'd breath:
'Till, like a shadow, out we go,
And vanish, into death.
