CHANGE
O'er the hills another dawn advances;
Yesterday is past. Is Past untrue?
The grave-stones of its changes and its chances
Are the triumphal pavement of the New.
Yesterday is past. Is Past untrue?
The grave-stones of its changes and its chances
Are the triumphal pavement of the New.
And To-day toward the western billows
Passeth even as Yesterday did pass.
Morrow morns will smile on human pillows;
Morrow evenings gild the churchyard grass.
Passeth even as Yesterday did pass.
Morrow morns will smile on human pillows;
Morrow evenings gild the churchyard grass.
Yet Life overliveth tides and chances;
Yet Truth groweth stronger and more true;
Reverence shrines the Old, while Faith advances
Ever on and on from New to New.
Yet Truth groweth stronger and more true;
Reverence shrines the Old, while Faith advances
Ever on and on from New to New.
