Human Life is compared to a Stream - ever flowing, a Shadow swiftly gliding, - a Vapour that appeareth for a little while - and then vanisheth away. With constant motion as the Moments slide - Behold in running Life the rolling tide, - For none can stem by art or stop the Power - The Flowing ocean or the fleeting hour
