EVANESCENT PLEASURE. 



But pleasures are like Poppies spread; 

 You seize the flower, its bloom is shed.

SENTIMENT. 



Time! Time! in thy triumphal flight, 



How all life's phantoms flee away! 

 The smile of Hope and young delight, 



Fame's meteor beam and Fancy s ray<< 

 They fade and on thy heaving tide, 



Rolling its stormy waves afar, 

 Are borne the wrecks of human pride 



The broken wrecks of Fortune's war 



Where hath the morning splendor flown, 



Which danced upon the crystal stream? 

 Where are the joys to childhood known, 



When life is an enchanted dream? 

 Enveloped in the starless night, 



Which destiny hath overspread; 

 Enrolled upon that trackless flight 



Where the dark wing of Time hath sped.
