Time & Brevity
Lines (Aldborough, 1823)
From Miscellaneous Verses
Time & Brevity
Thus once again, my native place, I come
Thee to salute--my earliest, latest home.
Much are we alter'd both, but I behold
In thee a youth renew'd--whilst I am old.
The works of man from dying we may save;
But man himself moves onward to the grave.
