Time fleeth on, Youth soon is gone, Naught earthly may abide; Life seemeth fast, But may not last-- It runs as runs the time.
Charles Godfrey Leland (1872). “The Music-lesson of Confucius, and Other Poems”, p.51
Time fleeth on, Youth soon is gone, Naught earthly may abide; Life seemeth fast, But may not last-- It runs as runs the time.
