TIME IS LIFE.
by J.J. Aubertin

TIME that matures brings also to decay;
Buds grow to blossoms, blossoms fade away;
The increase of life but nearer proves our end,
Manhood stands next in withering age to bend,
Blooming or breaking, every change man hath
Is but a movement in the mortal path.
Then keep with patience every present hour,
Seek not to pass so soon from bud to flower,
The blush of morning, though but calmly bright,
Stands not so near as blazing noon to night,
And, save that Death doth blindly deal his blow,
Childhood's young stream the farthest hath to flow.
Or bright, or sad, 'tis life: embrace the day,
E'en in thy trouble ne'er wish Time away;
To guard each hour of life doth something save,
To long for e'en to-morrow is to call the grave.
