LIFE.
Oh! Life and Friends like seasons pass away.We stepped light-hearted forth to meet the Spring,
But scarcely had begun our childish play,
Ere full-leaved Summer leaped into the ring,
And looked around, but deigned no longer stay,
For solemn Autumn came with faded wing,
And scarce had time to gaze upon our game,
When he too fled—then wrinkled Winter came.
