LyicsAlas! how poor and little worth
Are all the glittering toys of earth
That lure us here.
Dreams of a sleep that death must break;
Alas! before it bids us wake,
They disappear.
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that rolled so light and gay,
The heart's blithe tone?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And joy grows weariness and woe,
When age comes on.
