Not Understood
Friendship’s flying, love is dying,
In the summer time they came;
Winter through the trees is sighing,
Love and friendship, scorn and shame.
In the summer time they came;
Winter through the trees is sighing,
Love and friendship, scorn and shame.
Years are stealing, years are stealing.
See life’s tinsel chariot glide;
Grasping avarice is wheeling
Vanity and vulgar pride;
False and shallow, time will swallow
Rags and riches in his tide:
Millions went and we must follow—
Prince or pauper may not ’bide.

Years are stealing, years are stealing,
Yonder mist is but a tear
The brilliant eye of day concealing,
Morn is there, and night is here.
In the morning, streaks adorning
Heaven’s grand refulgent sphere;
Clouds at mid-day—solemn warning—
Darker shades at night appear.
