Fugaces
Labuntur anni
To Him whose wisdom guides us
Whose providence provides us
With all we want below
We bring our hymns united
And pour our prise delighted
A grateful spirit's overflow.
Years follows years: – & ages
In history's mournful pages
Seem less that passing days
What do they leave behind them
A ruined pile we find them
That lifts its proud head & decays.
Short is the date of glory,
But man's delusive story
Lasts longer far than he:
And when his praise is spoken –
He lies – a pillar broken –
In deserts of obscurity
