On the Change * effected by Time .
All nature ' s works are food for Tirae , Earth , ocean , air , even w <^ ids sublime , He shall at length comume;—The brightest gems shall melt away , As flosvers that hasten to decay And lose their vernal bloom .
Nor long shall ought on earth remain , Nor long their present forms retain , All things are stationless ;—Oa flinty rocks and mountains rude . On sweet society and solitude , Tiihe shall his age impress . Rivers shall cjry ai * d flow no more , The mighty sea desert its shore , The tempest ' s voice be s 4 : ill ;—Mountains shall sink and disappear , Their frowning cliffs with awe and fear jVor long the soul shall fill !
Vet -what are these ? The azure sky , far spread in blue immensity Whose beamty poets praise ; The spangled canopy of heaven By Time ' s coutroul to ruin given , With its own fires shall blaze ! Death ' s frozen grasp no power can fly , It is the law *—w > t p ain—to die , Which all tjimgs coust ob ^ ey—B y this depree the just and fyrave—All shall be jningjed in the grave , And worlds shall waste away !
