The Changes of Nature Types of Immortality. |
551. C. M. Sir J. E. Smith. The Changes of Nature Types of Immortality. 1 As twilight's gradual veil is spread Across the evening sky; So man's bright hours decline in shade, And mortal comforts die. 2 The bloom of spring, the summer rose, In vain pale winter brave; Nor youth, nor age, nor wisdom knows A ransom from the grave. 3 But morning dawns and spring revives, And genial hours return; So man's immortal soul survives, And scorns the mouldering urn. 4 When this vain scene no longer charms, Or swiftly fades away, He sinks into a Father's arms, Nor dreads the coming day.
