No twilight dews his wrath allay.

Our course through life's uncertain race.

As aspens show the light and shade.

The vanities of life forego,
And count their youthful follies o'er,
Till Memory lends her light no more.

And Greta woods are green,
And you may gather garlands there
Would grace a summer's queen.

A cast of thought upon her face,
That suited well the forehead high,
The eyelash dark, and downcast eve.
