Id .::e is like the autumn te,f, Th c uvmMes in the moon's p de ray, Itv is frail; its dateishrief, ft s loss and soon to pass a a ay; V 're that U at shall fail and fade, The narcn t shall mourn its shade, Tli winds be ul the le ifi ss uee. But none shall breath a sigh for me. M life is like the prints which feet H ie left on Temple's desert strand, Sooii,as the rising tide shall beat, Alltlice will vanish from the sand; W t, as if grieving to efface, All cstigc ot the human race, On that lone shore loud nr urns the sea, Hut none, alas! shall mourn for me.
