Gay is thy morning;—flatteriog hope
Thy sprightly step attends;
But soon the tempest howls behind.
And the dark night descends!
Before its splendid hour, the cloud
Comes o'er the beam of light;
A pilgrim in a weary land,
Man tarries but a night!
Determined are the days that fly
Successive o'er thy head;
The numbered hour is on the wing.
That lays thee with the dead.
