TIME, by                    
First Line: As I glided down the valley of time
Last Line: Can rob me of the joy and peace of the golden present, now.
Subject(s): Time


As I glided down the valley of time,
I felt a strange sweet sense of peace;
I bid adieu to yesterday,
Tomorrow I cannot see.

Oh! Time as you glide so swiftly by,
More precious art thou than gold,
Swifter by far than the swiftest steed.
Oh! Time what must thou be, that we cleave to thee so eagerly?

Glide on, oh Time, in your flight.
No sorrow in the bygone days,
No hope in the future years
Can rob me of the joy and peace of the golden present, Now.
