THE AGES

1.

WHEN to the common rest that crowns our days,
Called in the noon of life, the good man goes,
Or full of years, and ripe in wisdom, lays
His silver temples in their last repose;

When, o'er the buds of youth, the death-wind blows
And blights the fairest; when our bitter tears
Stream, as the eyes of those that love us close,

We think on what they were, with many fears

Lest goodness die with them, and leave the coming years

II.

And therefore, to our hearts, the days gone by,
When lived the honored sage whose death we wept,
And the soft virtues beamed from many an eye,
And beat in many a heart that long has slept-
Like spots of earth where angel-feet have stepped,
Are holy; and high-dreaming bards have told

Of times when worth was crowned, and faith was kept, Ere friendship grew a snare, or love waxed coldThose pure and happy times-the golden days of old.

III.

Peace to the just man's memory; let it grow

Greener with years, and blossom through the flight
Of ages; let the mimic canvas show

His calm benevolent features; let the light
