Sentiment .... Growing Old. 
Another year ! another year ! 
The unceasing rush of time sweeps on ; 
Whelmed in its surges, disappear 
Man’s hopes and fears, forever gone U 
Oh ! what concerns it him whose way 
Lies upward to the immortal dead 
That a few hairs are turning gray, 
Or one more year of life has fled ? 
Swift years ! but teach me how to bear ; 
To feel and act with strength and skill ; 
To reason wisely, nobly dare, 
And speed your courses as ye will. 
Press onward through each varying hour ; 
Let no weak fears thy Qpurse delay ; 
Immortal being ! feel thy power, 
Pursue thy bright and endless way. 
A. Norton.
